Brunswick. Those are big numbers for out little province. We even surpassed Nova Scotia, which is a surprise to me. Nova Scotia Stats for January 2013 are 109 million. Up only 3.9% from January 2012.
Year over year was smashed the numbers in percentage increase of all other provinces.

Moncton and SJ CMAs accounted for more than half of that. Moncton 52M, SJ 31M. That said monthly permit values fluctuate so dramatically in small places like SJ/Monc/Fred and even NB as a whole...doesn't really mean anything because one large project can skew the numbers so much. The longer term trends are more useful. (Ex: my graph on the top of this page)
