Career

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Halman spent most of his youth in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. He later moved back to Quebec with his family as his father worked in the film industry. He studied at Concordia University before settling in Dartmouth where he pursued his Bachelor's and a master's degree in Education at Mount Saint Vincent University.

Prior to his election to the House of Assembly, Halman was a teacher for Prince Andrew High School.

With the support of his late wife, Ginette Thibault-Halman, he decided to leave the classroom to run as a candidate for the 2017 Nova Scotia general election.

On August 31, 2021, Halman was made Minister of Environment and Climate Change as well as Chair of Treasury Board and Policy Board.[4]
