“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, or see something we should add or update on this page, let us know!

The party said in its platform that Newfoundland and Labrador is “not producing enough of the food we eat,” and that by “working together with farmers, food producers and local retailers, we can grow the farming and agrifoods industry to put more local, affordable food on the shelves for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

To do that, the PCs promised to:

Launch a 10-year agriculture strategy, developed with input from farmers, retailers, and experts, to strengthen local food production and connect producers with local markets. This will focus on removing barriers for new farmers, increasing food production, indoor growing, and lengthening the growing season.

Use more Crown Lands for farming.

Create a farm loan guarantee program to support new food producers and review grant programs to help farmers attract federal and private investment.

Review the farm equipment bank and work with farmers to improve access to shared tools and machinery.

Support secondary food production. We will help food producers who want to set up processing facilities navigate red tape and market their products. We will support new processing facilities which will help local farmers and food producers access local and national grocery stores.
