The 2010-11 provincial budget will focus on continuing record funding for health care and education; tax relief to individuals and businesses; and record capital investments of $896 million for strategic infrastructure projects.
These investments will boost the two-year record capital investments of $1.2 billion announced in March to almost $1.6 billion.
“We are continuing to lead the way, mitigating the impact of the economic downturn, maintaining jobs and creating new employment opportunities. Our capital investments, combined with our plan for lower taxes and the proposed acquisition of NB Power by Hydro-Québec, will help maintain and create jobs and enable our province to stay on the road to self-sufficiency.”
- Finance Minister Greg Byrne
