“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!

“Environmental stewardship is crucial for a sustainable future,” the PCs said in their platform. “Without immediate and decisive measures, it is increasingly unlikely that the province will meet its 2030 emission reduction targets under the Paris Accord. Emission reduction plans must be realistic, practicable, and actionable in the pursuit of net zero.”

The PCs promised to:

Work with stakeholders to review learnings from previously failed Climate Change Action Plans and then create a more attainable Climate Change Action Plan with clear and achievable emission reduction targets, by sector, and report on them regularly.

Continue to promote Newfoundland and Labrador oil on the world stage due to its low carbon footprint and the efficiency of our industry.

Fix the Oil to Electric Incentive Program so that more homeowners can make the switch away from oil heated homes.

Support innovation and green technology by investing in local research that drives sustainable solutions.

Promote environmental education and awareness through community programs and outreach.

Work with Indigenous leaders to understand the threat that climate change has on the Indigenous way of life.

Support communities in adapting to climate change and recovering from its impacts.

Help develop long-term strategies while providing direct aid to residents affected by climate-related disasters, including floods, wildfires, and severe storms.
