Businesses throughout the province provide products and services to the government. They also benefit from investment in education, roads, and improved information technology that better serves their needs.

New and upgraded medical centres, schools, and other facilities strengthen our communities, generate economic activity, and make it easier for businesses to attract and retain skilled workers.

How Capital Decisions Are Made Annually, government departments are asked to prepare and submit their capital requests. A capital prioritization committee made up of representatives from across government – selected for expertise in critical assessment areas— reviews and analyzes the requests and prioritizes the capital projects. The decision to invest in a road, school or other public infrastructure is based on the answers to key questions: Is the existing structure safe? Does the project fit with government’s commitments and policy priorities? What is the cost weighed against the benefits? Does it make fiscal sense in light of other needs? Will the infrastructure result in improved service to the public? What is the risk of not building it?

Prior to Fall 2010, the recommendations of the committee were presented to either Cabinet or Treasury Board Ministers for decision as part of the overall budget process. The decisions were made public in the annual budget each spring. Now, capital spending decisions are made in the fall and are shared publicly in the annual capital plan.

The Jobs and Building Plan invests in projects that are important to Nova Scotians today, like schools, hospitals, and roads. It also invests in strategic information technology and infrastructure projects that are necessary to continue to grow Jobs and Building Plan our economy. 2 Information Technology Buildings andLand Highways andStructures Capital FundingSummary Total Contingency Capital Grants Vehicles andEquipment
