Looking Ahead: Federal Budget Priorities

Nationally, the Chamber has submitted a federal pre-budget proposal calling for bold investment in New Brunswick’s future. Priorities include upgrading key trade infrastructure such as Port Saint John and Simms Corner; building a future-ready workforce through reskilling and modern immigration pathways; advancing clean energy and healthcare innovation; and improving access to early-stage capital for start-ups.
