Justification

Le polimètre considère toujours cette promesse en suspens. Dans le plan d’action pour la croissance démographique du gouvernement Higgs, à la mesure 35, nous constatons une volonté du gouvernement de développer des stratégies pour la croissance démographique dans les communautés du Nouveau-Brunswick. Or, nous n’avons pas encore trouvé preuve qu’une telle politique s’est réellement matérialisée.

The polimeter considers this promise as still pending. In the government’s Action Plan for Population Growth, we see a desire to develop strategies for population growth in New Brunswick communities. However, we have yet to find evidence that such a policy has been implemented.

“Collaborer avec les administrations locales à l’élaboration ou la mise en œuvre de stratégies de croissance démographique ou de plans d’immigration régionaux de leurs collectivités.”

“Work with local governments as they implement or develop their communities’ own population growth strategies or regional immigration plans”
