On March 19, Finance and Treasury Board Minister Ernie Steeves presented a budget that is the result of years of responsible fiscal management and a commitment to providing services that support a growing population.
We are continuing to invest in important priority areas including health, education, and supporting our vulnerable populations, while also maintaining a sustainable and responsible approach to managing our finances.
“Despite the challenges we have faced since 2018, we are building a stronger province, and we also recognize that there is a lot more to do,” said Finance and Treasury Board Minister Ernie Steeves. “We have gone from a province that had weak economic and population growth, and unsustainable public finances, to a province with a much healthier economy with significant growth potential and sustainable public finances, which should be a point of pride for New Brunswickers.”
The Finance and Treasury Board Minister, Ernie L. Steeves, tabled a $1.2-billion capital budget, an increase of nearly $200 million over the multi-year plan tabled last year.
