Bill 48: Loan Act 2026

This bill primarily affects the provincial government's own borrowing capacity rather than private businesses directly. However, businesses that work on government contracts — such as construction firms, engineering companies, and infrastructure suppliers operating in New Brunswick — may see opportunities tied to public works spending enabled by this borrowing authority. Larger companies bidding on provincial projects and smaller local contractors alike could be indirectly affected depending on how the borrowed funds are deployed. There is no direct regulatory or operational change imposed on private sector businesses.
