Summary
Bill 9, the Future Fund Act (Amendment), was introduced in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly on March 9, 2026, during the 51st General Assembly, First Session. As of April 2, 2026, the bill has only received First Reading, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or passed through further legislative stages. The Future Fund Act governs Newfoundland and Labrador's sovereign wealth fund, which was established to save a portion of the province's natural resource revenues — particularly from offshore oil — for long-term economic benefit. An amendment to this Act could involve changes to how money is deposited, withdrawn, invested, or governed, but the specific content of this amendment is not available from the provided information. Because the bill has not advanced beyond First Reading, the full text and intent of the proposed changes have not been made publicly available through this source.
