New Brunswick faces a $92.1M deficit, up from a projected surplus, due to higher travel nurse costs.

New Brunswick's fiscal report now projects a $92.1 million deficit, up from a budgeted $40.9 million surplus last year. This change is mainly due to higher costs for travel nurses. Despite a $118.8 million increase in revenue, primarily from federal grants and tax gains, expenses have risen, leading to a larger deficit than previously expected.
