CBDC page replaced with general business services
The S-TAP program page has been replaced by a general CBDC homepage, with seafood-specific eligibility, funding details, and contact information no longer shown.
The page content has shifted from the Seafood Technology Adoption Program (S-TAP) to a general CBDC homepage for small business help, loans, financing, and advisory services. The seafood-sector program details, New Brunswick applicant rules, project types, reimbursement terms, and application instructions are no longer visible. This is a major scope and eligibility change because the page now emphasizes broad Atlantic Canada business support instead of a targeted New Brunswick seafood grant. Contact and navigation links also changed materially, so the grant details should be reviewed carefully before relying on the current page.
