FREDERICTON - A bill to establish an arms-length agency charged with creating jobs and attracting investment to the province will be tabled in spring 2011, says the minister of economic development.
"Invest NB will be a crown corporation that will have a very serious mandate to increase the economy and create good jobs in the province of New Brunswick," Paul Robichaud told reporters following the first session of the legislature in Fredericton on Wednesday.
The new agency is part of the Tories' plan to restructure and refocus Business New Brunswick and other government programs and services geared toward the private sector.
Robichaud said he will introduce a bill to create Invest NB in the spring session of the legislature, noting it should be fully operational by 2012.
