Prince Edward Island: where to find the budget

Prince Edward Island tables two budgets a year. The capital budget, for buildings, roads and other long-term assets, comes in the fall. The operating budget, for day-to-day spending, comes in the spring. Each is published as a book of estimates. Here is where to find them, and who checks the results. Its Public Accounts are not listed here yet: we add a link only after opening it and confirming it is the right document, and we have not yet been able to do that for PEI's Public Accounts.

The plan: the provincial budget

The estimates books set out what the government expects to raise and intends to spend. They are plans, not records of what happened.

02

Between budgets

The Department of Finance publishes a fiscal and economic update partway through the year. It revises the deficit forecast against what the budget projected.

03

The independent check

Prince Edward Island has no separate budget officer. The Auditor General reports to the Legislative Assembly, not 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.
