Bill 28: An Act to Amend the Student Financial Assistance Act, No. 2

This bill primarily affects the Government of the Northwest Territories and students seeking financial aid, rather than private businesses directly. Post-secondary institutions operating in or serving NWT students — such as Aurora College or private career colleges — may see increased enrollment as more students can access funding. Businesses that rely on a skilled local workforce, particularly in trades, healthcare, and resource sectors across the NWT, could indirectly benefit from more residents being able to complete post-secondary or vocational training. The impact on any individual private business is minimal and indirect.
