Treasury Board President Roger Melanson is the first cabinet minister to tout the benefits of New Brunswick’s new Economic Growth Plan in a speech to the Greater Moncton Chamber of Commerce.
The plan is the result of consultations over the past year with various groups and individuals across the province with five key planks: People, Innovation, Capital, Infrastructure and Agility.
Melanson says the plan sets out a framework for stimulating the economy.
“(This is) allowing us to guide government’s efforts to be able to grow the economy and it’s also a guide for the private sector,” he notes.
Melanson adds growing the economy is a continuous effort and therefore no timelines are attached to the new growth plan.
