MLA Susan Holt
Liberal Party, Fredericton South-Silverwood, NB
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion, anti-parental rights
Rating Comments: Susan Holt was elected as the Leader of the New Brunswick Liberal Party in August 2022. Under Holt's leadership, the Liberal Party became officially pro-abortion and anti-parental rights when, at the Party's 2024 Convention, resolutions were passed to extend public funding to abortions committed outside hospitals at private, for-profit killing centres. Convention delegates also voted to eviscerate the current PC government's pro-parental rights Policy 713, which requires parental consent before transgender "pronouns" can be used to describe their children at school.
As further testament to the party's pro-abortion views, both of the previous Liberal Party leaders, Brian Gallant and Kevin Vickers, were aggressively pro-abortion. Gallant banned pro-lifers from running as Liberal candidates and repealed a requirement that hospital abortions required a sign-off by two doctors that the killing of the unborn child was "medically necessary". Both Gallant and Vickers strongly supported taxpayer funding of for profit, private abortuaries.

| Motion 50 - Liberal opposition's attempt to undermine the minimal parental rights established in the PC government's revision to Policy 713 This Motion, made by pro-LGBT Liberal Party leader Susan Holt, sought to delegitimize the minimal protections implemented under the PC government's Policy 713, which required parental consent before children under the age of 16 could insist that gender-ideological names and pronouns be applied to themselves in schools. Disgracefully, the Motion asserted that children's rights were somehow thwarted by the guidance of their own parents. The Motion's resolution requested that Policy 713 be subjected to further scrutiny by the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate, which was to "conduct full consultations with relevant stakeholders on any changes to Policy 713 and the impact of such changes..." The resolution passed by a vote of 26 in favour to 20 opposed on June 15, 2023. |

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Susan Holt on 2024.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | -- |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion? (note: a surgical or medical intervention, designed to prevent the death of the mother but but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion. e.g. in cases of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) | Yes, all circumstances (based on party policy) |
| Will you uphold the current law of not funding abortion in private facilities? | No (based on party policy) |
| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers money in all New Brunswick hospitals? | No (based on party policy) |
| Do you agree women have the right to be thoroughly informed about the serious health consequences of abortion, the development of the child in the womb and the alternatives to abortion? | -- |
| Will you protect the rights of parents to educate their children according to their faith in matters of moral principles and beliefs concerning abortion, contraception and homosexuality? | No (based on party policy) |
| Will you oppose euthanasia and instead support measures to promote 'palliative care', the purpose of which is to alleviate pain, and enhance the quality of life for terminally ill patients and those with disabilities? (Note: Euthanasia is the direct and intentional killing of a person by action or omission, with or without that person's consent, for what people mistakenly believe are compassionate reasons.) | -- |
| Will you support legislation to protect the right of health care workers who refuse to participate in procedures which are in violation of their religious or conscientious beliefs? | -- |

Pro-abortion New Brunswick Liberal Party leader Susan Holt regurgitates the slogan-like lie that "abortion is healthcare", vowing that if her party forms government, they will increase "access" to the child-killing procedure.
The closing of Clinic 554 is another hit to healthcare access. We are committed to repealing 84-20 and creating better access to and awareness of abortion services in the province. ???? Abortion is healthcare. ?? pic.twitter.com/Rco8rCStT1
