New Brunswick: where to find the budget
New Brunswick splits its budget in two. The capital budget, for roads, bridges and buildings, is tabled months ahead of the main budget each spring. The detailed spending plan is a separate book called the Main Estimates. The Department of Finance and Treasury Board also reports on the year's numbers every quarter, and most of its documents are published in English and French. Here is where each one lives.
The plan: the provincial budget
The budget speech sets out what the government intends. The Main Estimates show how much each department is asking the legislature to approve. Neither is a record of what was actually spent.

Between budgets
New Brunswick publishes a fiscal and economic update each quarter. Comparing these with the budget shows how far the forecast has moved.
The independent check
New Brunswick has no separate budget officer. The Auditor General reports to the legislature, not to the government of the day.
