Burt Paulin
Burt Paulin (born August 13, 1955 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian politician in New Brunswick.
His family moved to Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-Restigouche when he was four months old. He married Carolle Mallais.
Burt Paulin was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in 2003 to represent the electoral district of Restigouche West. In early 2006, electoral boundaries were redrawn and Paulin's district was merged with Madawaska-la-Vallée to form Restigouche-la-Vallée.
As a result, Paulin, a Liberal, faced off against long time Progressive Conservative legislator Percy Mockler in the 2006 election. Mockler defeated Paulin.
Mockler was appointed to the Canadian Senate in late 2008, and a by-election was held in early 2009. Paulin stood again for the Liberals and was re-elected.
He is the author of a book, Quelques notes historiques sur Olivier, about the history of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-Restigouche area.
