We’re freezing your property assessment value for 2026 so that it won’t increase next year.

While we continue our work to create a more predictable and fair property tax system, we’re taking action now to provide you with some stability.

Lots of traveling today, beginning in Moncton with Minister Miles to tour the MacDonald Centre for Independent Living. A quick layover in Fredericton to meet with the province’s non-profit housing executives. And then joining Premier Holt in Nackawic to visit the town’s newest housing development.

Renters in New Brunswick, we’ve got your back! We’ve introduced a 3% rent cap to ensure you can continue to afford a place to call home.

A group of people stands in a room with ornate decor, posing for a photo. They are surrounded by large portraits in an elegant hallway with patterned flooring and wooden columns. Some are wearing matching maroon shirts.

Had a great time welcoming the students of Harbour View High School to the Legislature this morning! Always love having the next generation of leaders in the gallery for question period.

As part of our government’s commitment to getting more affordable housing projects on the go, we scrapped the HST on new multi-unit builds. 🏗️

We have signed an agreement with the federal government to better support people without homes in Saint John, including those living in encampments.

Funding will help provide immediate support to people without homes and help to address long-term housing needs.

Ils veulent que nous fassions une erreur, sachant les conséquences dévastatrices qu'ils auront sur des communautés comme la nôtre. Je suis heureux d'avoir Susan Holt qui prend les bonnes mesures pour nous à Washington cette semaine.

Les tarifs de Trump sont importants pour Saint John, en fait, ils sont les plus importants de tout le pays.

Trump tariffs matter for Saint John, in fact they matter the most in the entire country.

They want us to misstep, knowing the devastating consequences they will have on communitiesties like ours. I'm glad to have @susanholtnb.bsky.social taking the exact right steps for us in Washington this week.

Saint John's cherished 200 year old Stone Church at last night’s Gala. Engaging speakers, new friends made, delicious dinner graciously sponsored by Thandi’d Restaurant. A time was had by all. The love and labour was evident. @bobmcvicar.bsky.social The Rev. Jasmine Chandra @davidhickey.bsky.social

Agree. That’s why we moved quick on the rent cap.

More supply on the market will help with the scarcity of units, while NB housing adds to the public housing stock.

That’s the hope, happy to discuss further.

Ensuite, à Fredericton, j'ai visité Maple Leaf Homes Inc. pour discuter des logements modulaires et visiter leurs installations.

Ces acteurs comprennent que nous sommes en pleine crise du logement et répondent avec l’urgence dont le Nouveau-Brunswick a besoin. Nous sommes là pour les soutenir.

On to Fredericton, I visited Maple Leaf Homes Inc. to discuss modular housing and tour their operations.

These players know we are in a housing crisis and are responding with the urgency NB needs. We are here to support that.
