Bill 38: Appropriations Act 2026-2027

This is a government appropriations bill and does not directly regulate or impose obligations on private businesses. However, businesses that supply goods or services to the New Brunswick government — such as construction contractors working on transportation infrastructure (over $1.1 billion allocated), health care suppliers, social services providers, or agricultural sector participants — may see funding levels that affect contract opportunities. Companies operating in sectors like housing, post-secondary training, or regional economic development may also be indirectly affected through funding to bodies like New Brunswick Housing Corporation or Opportunities New Brunswick. The bill itself creates no new rules, costs, or compliance requirements for private businesses.
