Budget Consultation Now Open
Nova Scotians are invited to submit their ideas for the next provincial budget during the Province’s annual budget consultation.
“As a government, we always value hearing directly from Nova Scotians who help inform our policies and decisions – shaping the next provincial budget is no different," said Finance and Treasury Board Minister Allan MacMaster. “We’re looking forward to reviewing ideas and solutions from Nova Scotians about what matters most to them as we create the budget for 2025-26 and beyond.”
