“For All of Us”

The PCs earned just enough seats to form a majority government in a stunning upset during the 2025 general election on Oct. 14, 2025.

While earning 21 of 40 seats in the house of Assembly, the party only had the support of 44.5 per cent of voters, which means it is governing a population most of which did not vote for it. This is the result of our problematic first-past-the-post electoral system.

Regardless, the PCs have made many promises that could improve the quality of life for many in our province.

The Independent has created this page as a space for journalists and the public to track the promises the PCs made before and during the election campaign, as well as any it makes after the election.

If you notice a promise we’ve missed, let us know!

“Truth and reconciliation means being honest about the issues facing Indigenous Newfoundlanders and Labradorians and being proactive in making meaningful changes to deal with the wrongs of the past that are still impacting people today,” the PCs said in their election platform, recognizing that “imposing solutions without true consultation does more harm than good.”

The PCs promised to:

Make progress on the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

Continue implementing the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Inquiry Respecting the Treatment, Experiences and Outcomes of Innu in the Child Protection System. We will do so in true partnership with Indigenous communities

Support the redevelopment of the K-12 curriculum so that it includes appropriate content on Indigenous histories, cultures, stories, and languages

Provide opportunities to Indigenous Children and Youth to learn and champion traditional language, craft, and skills. We will also provide opportunities for these children and youth to share their heritage with non-Indigenous children and youth throughout the province

Implement stronger civilian oversight of police services, including the creation of a Police Oversight Board that is independent of police, civilian-led, politically neutral, and representative of the province’s diverse communities.
