The Interim Supply Bill allows government to continue to fund important programs ahead of tabling Budget 2021.
An Interim Supply Bill provides temporary legal authority for the government to continue existing programs and services into the new fiscal year and support the Province’s robust estimates debate. As in other years, the bill is tabled in March and is required to be passed before the end of the fiscal year on March 31. This spending appropriation will provide a portion of the total estimated budget of 2021/22 to ensure current supports and services can continue while the new budget is tabled and debated in the legislature.
