Pilot program to reduce red tape and roadblocks for business

Entrepreneurs in the province now have access to one-on-one help in navigating the regulatory requirements of running a business thanks to a pilot program introduced today.

The Business Navigators, a client management support program based upon a successful model implemented in Nova Scotia, is being offered through Opportunities NB.

“We have heard the frustration of entrepreneurs about the red tape they face when they want to start or operate a business in the province,” said Economic Development and Small Business Minister Mary Wilson, who is also minister responsible for Opportunities NB. “With this initiative, we are working to ensure that they spend less time navigating rules and regulations and more time running their businesses and growing our economy.”

Beginning today, entrepreneurs may call 1-833-799-7966 or e-mail [email protected] to contact a navigator at Opportunities NB. This team will work with navigators identified within each government department to provide the most accurate and helpful response.

Election 2019 – Liberals Cling to Minority Government

Although a tight race, Canada’s 2019 federal election has ended with Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party holding on to a minority government. The Liberals have taken 157 seats in Monday’s election, 13 seats shy of the 170 needed for a majority.

Nearly three-quarters of the Liberal caucus will hail from Ontario and Quebec, with Alberta and Saskatchewan having no members of parliament in the government.

The Liberals continue to hold 26 seats in Atlantic Canada but lost their domination of the region. In the 2015 election, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals won all of Atlantic Canada’s 32 ridings, but this time lost four ridings to the Conservatives and one each to the NDP and the Green Party. Key Atlantic MPs not returning include Nick Whelan (St. John’s East) and Matt DeCourcey () who were defeated; and Rodger Cuzner (Cape Breton- Canso), Bill Casey (Cumberland-Colchester) and Mark Eyking (Sydney-Victoria) who retired.

For the first time in 40 years, the party that received the most votes – the Conservatives – did not also win the largest share of seats. While the Conservatives received 34% of the popular vote, the Liberals trailed closely behind with 33%.

With 121 Members of Parliament, the Conservatives now hold more seats than they did following the 2015 federal election. Conservative MP’s are, however, heavily concentrated in Saskatchewan, Alberta and rural Ontario. The party failed to make any gains in Quebec.

The Bloc Québécois also enjoyed a surge, ending the day with 32 seats - 22 more than in 2015; now making it the third party in the House of Commons.

The NDP lost 15 seats in this election, now holding just 24 ridings. Despite moving to fourth party status in the House of Commons, the NDP still retains enough seats to hold the balance of power in a Liberal minority government.

The Greens won three seats and for the first time won a seat in New Brunswick, with stealing the riding of Fredericton from Liberal incumbent Matt DeCourcey.
