It proposes changes to the Finance Act, which is the law that governs how the provincial government manages its finances, borrowing, and investments. Unfortunately, the full text of the specific amendments is not included in the provided document — only the bill's title, introduction date, and legislative progress are shown.

What is known is that this is a Private Member's Bill, meaning it was introduced by an opposition MLA rather than the governing party.
