Budget faces fiscal challenges, invests in job creation and families
FREDERICTON (GNB) – The provincial government tabled its 2015-16 budget today which focuses on the government’s three key priorities: creating the conditions for job creation, facing our fiscal challenges and helping families.
“We must face our fiscal challenges together so that we can continue to provide the key services our residents count on,” said Finance Minister Roger Melanson. “At the same time, this budget is guided by the principle of fairness, ensuring that those with the greatest ability to pay contribute more when it comes to addressing our fiscal situation.”
