For too long, too many people have felt that the crowd making decisions aren't taking them seriously.

PC Leader @TonyWakehamNL and the Progressive Conservatives are fighting for a better Newfoundland and Labrador, for ALL of us.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

Today, we remember. Lest we forget.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

Today, we pause to remember and honour the brave Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who served and sacrificed for our country, along with all those who fought to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.

We will never forget the courage, service and sacrifice of the men and women who answered the call, both at home and abroad.

Lest we forget.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

Confidence in Newfoundland and Labrador's offshore is stronger than it's been in decades.

More than $260 million has been committed by leading global energy companies to explore opportunities off our coast.

These investments help lay the groundwork for future projects, new jobs, and economic growth that benefits communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.

The future looks bright, for all of us.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

This Veterans’ Week, we honour the brave Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who served our province and our country.

From Beaumont-Hamel to missions across the world, they answered the call to serve with courage, pride, and an unwavering sense of duty.

We remember their sacrifice, we honour their legacy, and we thank them. Lest we forget.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

Today’s results are a significant vote of confidence in Newfoundland and Labrador and the future of our offshore industry.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

After years with no bids, the world’s leading energy companies are investing in Newfoundland and Labrador.

More than $260 million has been committed to exploring our offshore across 10 parcels.

Our government is proud to be pro-development, pro-jobs and pro-growth. Exploration is where it all starts, and the next Bay du Nord is out there.

We’re just getting started.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

Starting December 1st, we’re dropping the provincial gas tax on gas and diesel to zero and bringing in legislation so it stays that way when fuel prices are high.

For the first time. Ever.

The cost of living is putting real pressure on families across Newfoundland and Labrador. We hear you, and we’re doing something about it.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

Our PC Government is putting more money back in your pocket at the pump.

Starting December 1st, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians will pay zero provincial gas tax on gasoline and diesel.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

Our PC Government promised to make life more affordable, and we're delivering.

✅ 15% off residential electricity bills this winter through the accelerated Churchill Falls Electricity Rebate

✅ Home Heating Supplement doubled from $500 to $1,000

✅ $54 million back in the pockets of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians

Real affordability measures, for all of us.

And we're just getting started.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

We made a commitment to make life more affordable for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, and we are delivering on it.

Today, I announced that we are expediting the Churchill Falls Electricity Rebate, in time for the cold winter months. This winter, residential customers will see a 15% reduction on their electricity bills.

We are also doubling the Home Heating Supplement for furnace and stove oil, from a maximum of $500 to $1,000. If you’ve already applied, you don’t need to reapply. If you’ve already received your cheque, a second one is on the way.

That’s $54 million back in the pockets of people across this province, and this is only the beginning.

More affordable for all of us.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

At every kitchen table I've sat at, the conversation is the same.

Will there be enough jobs? Will my family have healthcare no matter where we live? Can we make ends meet? Will our kids be able to stay home?

That's what governing is really about. Not the cabinet table, but the kitchen table.

One year in, I'm still listening and still working. For all of us.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

Newfoundland and Labrador has some of the richest resources in the world. That's a door to more industry, less debt and a stronger future for all of us.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

Nice to be home in Stephenville-Port au Port this week.

It was a pleasure to announce more than $575,000 for fire vehicles and equipment right here in our district. This includes a new pumper truck for the Stephenville Fire Department, along with funding for equipment for the Cape St. George and Port au Port Regional Volunteer Fire Departments. We are also supporting Stephenville, Kippens and Lourdes with 15 sets of wildland coveralls each.

Thank you to our volunteer firefighters for all you do, and to everyone who came out to join us.

It's an honour to represent this district. This is part of our commitment to building safer communities for all of us.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

For too long, residents in rural, remote, and Labrador communities have faced an impossible choice, to pay for the travel to get specialized medical care, or go without it.

That ends now.

Our PC government is delivering on it’s commitment by more than doubling the MTAP budget, eliminating the $400 annual deductible, increasing mileage and accommodation rates, and making it easier than ever to apply online.

Because health care should work for all of us.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

Our PC government is delivering on its promise of better health care for all of us.

✅ MTAP budget more than doubled
✅ $400 annual deductible eliminated
✅ Higher mileage and accommodation rates
✅ Dialysis travel distance cut from 50km to 20km
✅ New online application system to make it easier to apply

No one should have to worry about the cost of getting to their medical appointment.

Listen carefully to what Liberal MHA Fred Hutton says here.

At MINEx 2026 - a mining conference in Labrador - he stood up and told the room that Wabush and Labrador City cannot expand without more electricity. That the Churchill Falls and Gull Island MOU is exactly what Labrador West needs.

Then he went to the House of Assembly.

And voted no.

Fred Hutton knows this deal is right for Labrador. He just chose politics over people.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

In 2024 they supported a deal with less power, less value, less transmission and no federal investment.

Tonight they voted against $273 billion, thousands of jobs, and 15% off your electricity bill.

Same Liberals. Different answer.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

Hear from MHA Riley Balsom on why he believes Newfoundlanders and Labradorians should not have to wait until 2041 for greater value from our resources.

More power. More transmission. More jobs. More opportunity.​‌

Our turn is now.

[PC Party of NL @PCPartyNL]

The NL Liberals want to talk about federal investment? Let's look at the numbers. 👇

Quebec received $6.5 billion in federal support - for a province of 9 million people.

Newfoundland and Labrador received $3.5 billion - for a province of 548,000 people.

That works out to $721 per person in Quebec and $6,388 per person in NL.

On a per capita basis, the federal government invested nearly 9 times more in Newfoundland and Labrador than in Quebec.

[Tony Wakeham @TonyWakehamNL]

This is about creating more long-term, good-paying jobs for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

With @Trades_NL backing our new and better deal, we’re strengthening our skilled workforce, creating opportunities for the next generation, and keeping more families here at home.
