Manitoba: where to find the budget

Manitoba's Department of Finance tables the provincial budget each spring. After the fiscal year closes on 31 March, it publishes the Annual Report and Public Accounts, which holds the audited financial statements. Quarterly reports update the forecast during the year. Here is where each one lives, and what it tells you.

The plan: the Manitoba budget

A budget is a statement of intent. It sets out what the province expects to raise, spend and borrow in the year ahead. It is not a record of what happened.

The record: what was actually spent

The budget is a promise; the Public Accounts are the receipt.

The independent check

Manitoba has no legislative budget officer. The Auditor General is the office that examines provincial finances without reporting to the government of the day.

Finding the documents is step one.

We are building an independent, plain-language report card on how this money is spent, at every level of government, published quarterly and free to read. Our first report card rates the federal government, provinces and territories; your support takes it to cities.
