New Brunswick is in talks with Taiwan to bring in a Mandarin-language program that will replace that of communist China’s Confucius Institute, the province’s education minister told a Commons committee on June 21.

Some of the institutes have already been removed from N.B.’s school system, with the rest to be closed by 2022.
