Statistics Canada lists Moncton as a city. Who leads Moncton’s council isn’t on an open record: there’s no open list of councils in New Brunswick. No provincial riding is named for Moncton, as no open boundary file exists for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick that we could find. Of the 10 Commons seats from New Brunswick, the Liberal Party of Canada holds 6.
Three governments, and who does what

- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
