Nunavut: where to find the budget
Nunavut's Department of Finance publishes Capital Estimates and Main Estimates as separate documents. For 2026–27, the Capital Estimates came in March 2026 and the Main Estimates in May 2026, with operating spending of about $2.47 billion. A Mid-Year Fiscal Report updates the numbers partway through the year. There is no territorial auditor general. The Auditor General of Canada audits the government's consolidated financial statements and reports to the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut.
The record: what was actually spent
The budget is a promise; the Public Accounts are the receipt.
