Bill 36: Appropriation Act (Infrastructure Expenditures), 2026-2027

This bill primarily affects contractors, construction firms, engineering consultants, and suppliers operating in the Northwest Territories who bid on government infrastructure projects. The largest share of funding — nearly $180 million — flows through the Department of Infrastructure, meaning businesses involved in road building, facility construction, and public works stand to benefit most. Smaller operators in trades, equipment rental, and materials supply may also see increased project activity, particularly in remote and community settings. Both solo operators and larger contracting firms could be impacted, depending on the scale and procurement structure of individual projects.
