Job creation and re-organizing Business New Brunswick…..two highlights of a speech delivered by Premier Graham today in Kings Square. Graham says the Conservative plan of splitting the department’s duties and creating a new agency called InvestNB has been tried before and won’t work:
He says within 18 months they recognized the importance of putting it back together.
He calls it an important tool for creating jobs saying Business New Brunswick is responsible for half of the 10,000 new jobs in the Province.
Graham says a new unit within Business New Brunswick, a business development agency, would be established to focus on creating high-paying jobs in high-growth sectors like information technology, biosciences and oil and gas.
