Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Increase and formalise Special Assistance grants for communities faciing immediate water issues

    "We will also formalize a prioritization stream for Special Assistance Grants for communities facing immediate water issues, and increase the amounts allowable for this purpose. We understand communities face challenges addressing urgent system issues, and need funds quickly to ensure water supply." — nlliberals.ca, retrieved 2025-10-02

  • Consult with municipalities to develop a Municipal Infrastructure Strategy

    "Further, we will consult with Municipalities to develop a long-term Municipal Infrastructure Strategy so communities can sustainably plan for their future." — Our Plan for Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-10-08

PC

  • Introduce a Newfoundland and Labrador Infrastructure Act to support transparent, long-term capital planning

    "To deliver the infrastructure people deserve, we will introduce a Newfoundland and Labrador Infrastructure Act —a strong legislative framework that supports transparent, long-term capital planning. We’ll ensure people get the infrastructure they deserve— investments that strengthen communities, support economic activity, and create lasting prosperity - while doing so with fiscal responsibility in mind. Long-term infrastructure planning will empower long-term financial planning while focusing on growing the local workforce and keeping more of the economic benefits here at home. This Act will utilize local community benefits agreements to grow the local workforce, provide opportunity, and keep more of the economic value from these projects here at home." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Require local community benefits agreements for natural resource projects and public infrastructure contracts valued over $500,000

    "Require local community benefits agreements for all natural resource projects and public infrastructure contracts valued over $500,000. This will ensure the principal beneficiary of our resources will always be the people of our province. This will prioritize the hiring of local skilled trade workers, awarding of contracts to local companies, and opportunity for apprentices and underrepresented groups such as women, gender diverse individuals, and Indigenous workers. Projects will be required to employ a minimum of 10% apprentices. In partnership with industry and trades unions, we will work towards the benchmarks outlined by TradesNL." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Immediately develop and implement a local benefits agreement on all public infrastructure contracts valued at more than $500K

    "These agreements will prioritize:

    1. The hiring of local skilled trades workers;
    2. The awarding of contracts to Newfoundland and Labrador companies;
    3. The creation of opportunities for apprentices and underrepresented groups, including women, gender diverse individuals, and Indigenous workers."

  • Require all public infrastructure projects of over $500K in value to employ at least 10% apprentices

    "Introducing a requirement that any public infrastructure projects of over $500,000 in value including schools, hospitals, long-term care facilities, prisons and correctional facilities, will be required to employ a minimum of 10% apprentices." — pcnl.ca, retrieved 2025-10-06

  • Pursue a multi-year planning approach for municipal infrastructure

    "Pursue a multi-year planning approach for infrastructure including roads, water, sewer, and recreational facilities. We will evaluate existing infrastructure and work with communities to replace it as necessary." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Prioritise funds to municipalities who want to create or improve a municipal water supply

    "Improve the delivery of safe, potable drinking water. We will work with local leaders and communities to develop workable small-town solutions that match the area’s needs. We will prioritize funds to municipalities who want to invest to create or improve a municipal water supply." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

We don't have any NDP policies on Insfrastructure.
