Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.
We don't have any Liberal policies on Human rights and hate crimes.
We don't have any PC policies on Human rights and hate crimes.

NDP
  • Work with community groups serving Indigenous people, 2SLGBTQIA+ people, people of colour, and other equity-seeking groups to develop a provincial plan to combat hate
  • Create a dedicated Hate Crimes Investigation Unit
  • Push for the RNC to join the national Hate Crimes Task Force
  • Allow the Human Rights Commission to initiate its own investigations, rather than wait for complaints

    "We’ll give the Human Rights Commission the power and the tools to initiate its own investigations rather than wait for complaints – giving them the ability to be proactive in standing up for the rights of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians." — A Better Deal for People in Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-09-27
