Story summary

The federal government has allocated $461 million to New Brunswick for various infrastructure projects as part of a new agreement with Ottawa’s Build Communities Strong Fund, announced in the 2025 budget. The funding includes $305 million specifically for housing and post-secondary education initiatives, while also stipulating that New Brunswick will not raise any fees or taxes that could impede housing supply.

Additionally, $155 million is designated for health infrastructure improvements across the province. For instance, the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital in Moncton, N.B., will receive $26.7 million ($25.7 million for endoscopy modernization and expansion plus $1 million for future planning) to enhance its facilities.

Federal Internal Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc highlighted that these investments aim to unlock new housing opportunities, bolster post-secondary education systems, and ensure reliable health infrastructure in the province.
