New Brunswick's Government is set to bring down the final budget today. It's expected that the fiscal plan is going to be dripping in red ink, as we lead up to an election. It's also been suggested the reason for the legislative assembly to assemble early, is so that they can hit the streets and start campaigning in preparation for a provincial election. Premier Alward however, brushed aside the accusations, saying an early budget helps departments with their planning.
A balanced budget is the goal of any government, but Blaine Higgs, the Finance Minister, is predicting a gloomy outlook. The premier has stressed that better times are on the horizon, with the possibility of the Energy East Pipeline and of course the shale gas sector.
I think investing in our province is a smart move on the part of our government, even though it leaves us with a deficit, it shows that this government is on the right side of wanting to turn this economy around. Moving ahead with industry is just what this province needs!http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/new-brunswick-tories-to-deliver-final-budget-tuesday-as-election-nears/article16675788/
