Québec Public Finances, a free site to follow public money, figure by figure
Nidello launches quebec.nidello.ca, a free bilingual site that explains Québec's finances from 48 official sources: budget, debt, 1,104 municipalities and nearly 190,000 public contracts, every figure with its source.
CANADA, October 28, 2026 — Nidello today launches Québec Public Finances at quebec.nidello.ca. The site brings together in one place what the Government of Québec, its agencies and its municipalities publish: revenue, spending, debt, major projects and public contracts. Every figure shows its source, its period and its date.
What you will find
- Your tax receipt. What you pay based on your employment income, and the share that would go to health, education or debt if your money followed public spending. The calculation runs in your browser: nothing is sent.
- Make your budget. In 2025-2026, Québec collected $160.4B and spent $165.9B. Sliders let you redo the exercise and watch the balance move.
- Your municipality. Taxes, spending and debt for Québec's 1,104 municipalities, with medians of similar municipalities and a page to compare two of them.
- Public contracts. Nearly 190,000 contracts awarded since April 2023, worth $163B, from the electronic tendering system (SEAO). Explore them by category, supplier or buying organization: a profile for 30,907 companies and 2,621 organizations, single-bid calls for tenders, cost increases, and cases where the winning bid was not the lowest.
- Major projects. How the cost of infrastructure and IT projects has changed, including adjusted for construction inflation.
- And more: the debt ($245.9B at March 31, 2026), government transfers, tax expenditures, comparisons with other provinces, emergency rooms and surgery, education, the public service and ten years of public finances.
Sources, not opinions
The site presents facts and takes no position. Its 48 sources are public: Public Accounts, the budget, Données Québec, Statistics Canada, municipal financial reports, SEAO. Data update automatically, and a page shows the next expected edition of each source. Every table can be downloaded as CSV.
The site is free, in French and English, with no ads, no account and no cookies. It is independent: not produced, endorsed or funded by any government or public body.
"The figures exist, but they are scattered across hundreds of PDFs and files. I wanted people to be able to follow public money without being an accountant: a figure, its source, and something to compare it with."
— Daniel, founder of Nidello
Availability
The site is live today: quebec.nidello.ca.
