6 of the 10 MPs from New Brunswick belong to the Liberal Party of Canada. For local government, Bas-Caraquet is a village. Mayors and councillors in New Brunswick aren’t on any open list, so Bas-Caraquet’s council goes unnamed here. No provincial riding is named for Bas-Caraquet, as no open boundary file exists for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick that we could find.
Three governments, and who does what
