When the federal budget was tabled, one of the proposals was that Ottawa will commit $27.2 billion over five years as long as the provinces contribute the same amount.
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc said he wants to know how the government can get it right in the province of New Brunswick.
LeBlanc said they decided to invest more than $30 billion as early as 2022 to work with provinces and providers.
“The provincial government cannot afford not to participate in this investment because it’s not only in the social development area of the provincial and federal governments responsibility, this will grow the New Brunswick economy,” said LeBlanc.
