新不伦瑞克面临13亿美元的赤字,由于债务接近139亿美元,年度债务成本达7.4亿美元,有可能大规模削减政府的服务。 New Brunswick faces a $1.3 billion deficit, threatening widespread cuts to government services as debt nears $13.9 billion and annual debt costs hit $740 million. 官员正在考虑裁员、削减顾问合同和非营利赠款以及重新评估基础设施项目,包括使用不足的学校。 Officials are considering workforce reductions, slashing consultant contracts and non-profit grants, and reevaluating infrastructure projects, including underused schools. 保健和教育占预算的一半以上,可能会发生改变,如将医院床位改为长期护理和审查补贴。 Health care and education, over half the budget, may see changes like shifting hospital beds to long-term care and reviewing subsidies. 增加税收的可能性不大,但正在探索新的收费、更高的采矿使用费、财产税改革以及省外车辆通行费,以稳定财政。 Tax increases are unlikely, but new fees, higher mining royalties, property tax reforms, and out-of-province vehicle tolls are being explored to stabilize finances.
