Bill 13: Supplementary Appropriation Act (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 2, 2024-2025

This bill primarily affects the NWT territorial government's own capital spending rather than private businesses directly. The net $236,000 increase reflects adjustments across departments — including new infrastructure spending (e.g., $7.17M for Infrastructure, $2.94M for Finance, $71K for Industry Tourism and Investment) offset by a $10M reduction in Health and Social Services capital — which may affect contractors and suppliers in the NWT who bid on government construction and capital projects. Businesses in the construction, engineering, or capital equipment supply trades operating in the Northwest Territories could see changes in available government contracts as a result of these reallocated infrastructure budgets. The reduction in Health and Social Services capital spending may mean fewer facility or equipment procurement opportunities in that sector, while the Infrastructure department increase may open new tendering activity.
