British Columbia: where to find the budget
British Columbia's Ministry of Finance publishes the province's budget each February, and the Office of the Comptroller General publishes what was actually spent once the fiscal year closes on 31 March. BC calls its main budget document the Budget and Fiscal Plan, and it reports between budgets in quarterly reports. Here is where each one lives, and what it tells you.
The plan: the BC budget
A budget is a statement of intent. It sets out what the province expects to raise, spend and borrow over the next three years. It is not a record of what happened.
- BC Budget 2026 The current provincial budget, titled Securing B.C.'s future. The home page links to highlights, the fiscal plan, the budget speech and supporting materials.
- Budget and Fiscal Plan 2026/27 – 2028/29 The full document, dated 17 February 2026. It covers the three-year fiscal plan, revenue and spending forecasts, capital spending and debt. PDF.
- Budget 2026 materials Downloads for the rest of the budget package, including the Estimates and the strategic plan.
The record: what was actually spent
The budget is a promise; the Public Accounts are the receipt. They compare actual results at year end with the plan set at the start of the year.
- Public Accounts The province's index of Public Accounts and related reports, with older years in an archive.
- Public Accounts 2025/26 The audited record for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2026, including the Summary Financial Statements. The Auditor General's report on these statements is a qualified opinion. PDF.
Between budgets
The independent check
British Columbia has no legislative budget officer. The Auditor General is the office that examines provincial finances without reporting to the government of the day.
