The Premier says a fiscal update on the province should be ready in the next week.
Dwight Ball was responding to questions from reporters after New Brunswick released theirs on Thursday.
During a daily COVID-19 briefing last week, Ball said they would have a fiscal update based on the March 31st numbers within two-weeks.
He says some of those numbers changed as oil prices plummeted in mid-March, which had a big impact on what would’ve been the budget year.
Ball says those numbers are being tabulated now.
In government’s fall fiscal update, they were budgeting oil prices at $63 per barrel. As of Thursday evening, Brent Crude was trading at $36 per barrel, which is a considerable increase from a couple of months ago.
