I. Why does New Brunswick
need a growth plan?
Here in New Brunswick, we have made great progress Figure 1: Percentage of households with access to 25
as a province throughout the 20th Century. Imagine:Mbps broadband infrastructure or higher (2014)
In 1960, per-capita personal income was 40 per cent
less than the Canadian average. By 2014, this gap
had narrowed to 11 per cent.
In 1976, 15.5 per cent of us earned low incomes.
1
By 2011, this rate had gone down to 5.8 per cent.
While unemployment is still too high, more of us
are working than ever before. In the past 30 years,
only one other province achieved a faster increase
in the workforce employment rate (the percentage
of adults with a job) than New Brunswick.

band infrastructure (Figure 1).
Until the 1960s, the quality of schools, hospitals and
social services throughout New Brunswick varied
widely, depending on the strength of the local tax
base and other factors. Wealthier areas enjoyed more
fewer or poorer quality services. Then came Equal
Opportunity. Today, we have access to a wide range
of quality public services regardless of where we live.
