The theme of the budget was \u201cBuilding on Success.\u201d As the first province to deliver a pandemic surplus (of $409 million in FY 2021-2022) and maintain a positive balance, New Brunswick has plenty of success to build on.  Again in the fiscal year starting April 1, New Brunswick will deliver a surplus, though a smaller one at $35 million. Expenses will grow by more than 5% to $11.3 billion as the province acts on capacity constraints illuminated by the pandemic. At the same time, revenues will grow by a modest 1.2% to $11.3 billion, reflecting tax cuts and the end of pandemic-related federal transfers. Net debt-to-GDP will hover just above 30% by the end of the fiscal year. <\/p>\n<h4>Expenses build up capacity in key sectors <\/h4>\n<p>Budget 2022 includes $11.3 billion in expenditures this year, a 5.5% increase (up $586 million) as the province transitions from reactionary pandemic spending to allocations geared towards \u201cbuilding capacity and resiliency.\u201d Much of this rebuilding is targeted to health spending, which is why New Brunswick announced the largest increase to health expenditures since FY 2008-2009. At $3.3 billion, a 6.4% increase from year-ago levels, health care accounts for just under 30% of total spending. In November, the province released a plan titled Stabilizing Health Care: An Urgent Call to Action. In FY 2022-23, in addition to typical program spending, $38 million will be allocated to targeting five areas outlined in the province\u2019s plan including expanding access to primary health care, access to surgery, creating a connected health care system, providing access to mental health care services, and to assist seniors to remain in their homes. <\/p>\n<div id=\"everviz-J0qpmklpq\" class=\"everviz-J0qpmklpq\"><script src=\"https:\/\/app.everviz.com\/inject\/J0qpmklpq\/\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Education and Early Childhood development account for an additional 14% of Budget 2022, with New Brunswick investing $110 million in early learning and childcare to create additional childcare spaces and reduce average fees to $10 per day within five years, in partnership with the federal government. The province will invest $500 million over this five year plan. The province\u2019s tourism-related program spending will grow by 26% in FY 2022-23, or an additional $6.9 million. New Brunswick is targeting affordable housing supply, but most of the work is reflected on the revenue-side, as the province has allotted $6.3 million to build up the stock of affordable housing (an allocation representing less than 1% of total expenditures). <\/p>\n<h4>Revenue growth slows reflecting tax cuts and end of pandemic aid <\/h4>\n<p>New Brunswick\u2019s total revenues of $11.3 billion are up a modest 1.2% from year-ago levels ($133 million). This slower revenue growth is largely due to the province\u2019s new tax reductions coupled with the ending of one-time pandemic-related revenue growth. Tax receipts, the province\u2019s largest source of revenue, are projected to fall $37.7 million to $5.4 billion. Much of the decline is attributed to lower corporate tax revenues (down $33 million). Personal income taxes are expected to grow a modest 0.7%. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/03\/table1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"935\" height=\"486\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35940\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In keeping with the federally-mandated carbon price requirement, New Brunswick will see the carbon tax rate increase from $40\/tonne to $50\/tonne on April 1st. The government is taking action to offset the impact of rising inflation and higher gas taxes by increasing the province\u2019s basic personal amount from $10,817 to $11,720. <\/p>\n<p>Total federal grants will grow 3.2% in FY 2022-23 to $4 billion. The growth reflects higher equalization and Canada Social Transfer payments that more than offset the decline in pandemic-related transfers as one-time supports end such as the $38 million decline in the Canada health transfer. Over the medium-term, revenues are expected to grow 3% by the end of FY 2024-25.<\/p>\n<h4>Capital Plan addresses province\u2019s infrastructure deficit<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/03\/table2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1227\" height=\"410\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35942\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This year, New Brunswick has allotted $747 million to its capital plan, and increase of $45 million (6.4%). The lion\u2019s share of the allocation (87% of the total budget) is allocated to the department of Transportation and Infrastructure. Close to half of the budget is earmarked for the maintenance and improvement of highways, roads, and bridges. Additionally, $153 million (20% of the budget) will be allocated to health-care infrastructure. <\/p>\n<h4>Debt-to-GDP to fall to 30%<\/h4>\n<p>Net debt is projected to reach $13 billion by the end of 2023, an increase of $15.5 million though the net debt-to-GDP ratio is expected to fall to 30.1% from just below 32%. The province\u2019s revised estimate for FY 2021-22 reflects higher GDP growth since Budget 2021. Over the medium-term, New Brunswick expects net debt-to-GDP to fall to 28.2% (FY 2024-25). At $634 million, debt servicing costs represent ~6% of total expenditure. As interest rates rise, these costs will grow over the forecast horizon. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"rds-callout-white\" style=\"border: 1px solid #c4c8cc;\">\n<div class=\"rds-gcw\">\n<div
