“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!

“Labrador is a distinctive region of the province with unique challenges and opportunities,” the PCs said in their election platform. “All our policies include Labradorians but there are specific approaches we need to take to make life more affordable, provide better healthcare, and make communities safer for all Labradorians.

“Labradorians take great pride in their regional uniqueness of the Big Land. Although Labrador contributes enormous sums to our prosperity and wealth to our province, Labradorians have been ignored and left behind by the Liberals.”

The PCs promised to:

Create a Regional Health Council to be the voice of Labradorians.

Reduce waiting times by adding additional diagnostic equipment. Labrador will receive a new MRI machine and the additional technicians needed to operate this machine.

Ensure that sufficient medical flights are available for residents of remote communities and make sure Labradorians can avail of emergency air medical transport when needed.

Review services and bed availability in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Labrador West to explore ways to reduce the need to travel, reduce wait times, and improve patient care.

Recognize that the remote nature of Labrador communities often exacerbates mental health concerns of individuals. We will work to increase access to mental health supports and services across Labrador.

Collaborate with Labradorians to develop a new Northern Strategic Plan for Labrador.

Help build new homes in Labrador. Areas such as Labrador West can grow with the proper plan and more housing starts.

Help create affordable and independent housing for seniors who prefer to move into a supportive community environment. Helping to create seniors’ communities will free up housing throughout the marketplace.

Use a 10-year plan to make sure there are enough personal care homes and long-term care beds. Seniors shouldn’t have to wait in hospitals for a bed.

Work with Indigenous governments to create more housing in Indigenous communities. Indigenous communities are growing.

Mobilize law enforcement, healthcare and addiction services, housing supports, and community organizations in a strategic effort to improve safety and public health in Happy Valley-Goose Bay. This initiative will be carried out in lockstep with municipal and Indigenous leaders.

Reduce the cost of air travel to, from, and within Labrador. The Liberals’ initial air travel plan ignored Labrador, their much-too-late “pilot” project failed to lower the cost of travel for all Labradorians. We will push for federal funding to upgrade Labrador airstrips
