Following provincial budget cuts announced by New Brunswick's Liberal government to phase out provincial veterinary services and address a $1.4-billion deficit, Hartland-based company Carleton AgriSolutions will take over providing care for the province's livestock starting April 1, 2027. The provincial government will contribute up to $1.2 million to support the transition, while the company plans to handle the management, equipment, and facilities side in collaboration with current provincial veterinarians who have agreed to stay on through the transition.
