Quebec: where to find the budget

Quebec publishes in French first, but most of its core financial documents also appear in English. Two departments share the work: the Ministère des Finances writes the budget and the Public Accounts, and the Conseil du trésor publishes the Expenditure Budget, which breaks spending down by department. Here is where each one lives, and what it tells you.

The plan: the Quebec budget

The budget sets out what the province expects to raise, spend and borrow in the year ahead. It is a plan, not a record.

The spending request: the Expenditure Budget

The Conseil du trésor publishes the Expenditure Budget alongside the budget. It is where spending is broken down by department and body.

03

The record: what was actually spent

The Public Accounts are the government's annual report on its finances. Volume 1 holds the consolidated financial statements, with the independent auditor's report from the Auditor General of Québec.

The independent check

The Auditor General reports to the National Assembly, not to the government of the day.
