The 2018 NB Liberal Plan

The Gallant Government has been moving our province forward with a plan based on fairness and opportunity for all New Brunswickers.

We’ve increased the healthcare budget by nearly 10% to ensure New Brunswickers have better access to high-quality healthcare.

There are over 90 new doctors practicing in our province today compared to 2014, and we are dedicating funds to recruit more.

We’re adopting team-based patient care, and hiring more nurse practitioners to increase access to primary care providers.

We’ve made a lot of progress over the last 4 years; let’s keep moving forward.
