From New Brunswick come 10 MPs, 6 of them with the Liberal Party of Canada. Northesk’s riding for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick isn’t shown: no open file of the province’s riding boundaries could be found. Statistics Canada lists Northesk as a parish. In New Brunswick, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Northesk’s mayor isn’t named.
