Mike Bernier (born 1968) is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2013 provincial election.[2] He represents the electoral district of Peace River South as a member of the BC United. In December 2014, he was appointed as Parliamentary Secretary for Energy Literacy and the Environment for the Minister of Environment. On July 30, 2015, he was chosen to be Minister of Education in British Columbia.[3]
On October 17, 2016, Bernier fired the Vancouver School Board for failing to pass a balanced budget.[4]
On May 9, 2017, Bernier was re-elected in his riding of Peace River South with 75.63% of the vote, the highest a BC Liberal has ever been elected with in provincial history and the eleventh highest across all parties in BC history.[5][6]
Bernier was reappointed Minister of Education on June 12, 2017.[7]
In opposition, he has served as the opposition critic for housing and for finance.
Before being elected provincially, he was served as a city councillor (2005–2008) and then the mayor (2008–2013) of Dawson Creek, BC. He previously worked for 20 years in the natural gas industry.[8]
