Newfoundland and Labrador’s Premier-Designate on How the Tories Won Power
The Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers' Association expects the new Progressive Conservative government to fulfill education promises after voters rejected a decade of Liberal rule, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Tony Wakeham's Progressive Conservatives won a majority government in Newfoundland and Labrador by securing 21 seats in the 40-seat house.
- During the campaign, health care, housing and the cost of living were key issues, while several Liberal ministers including Siobhan Coady and John Haggie quit before the election.
- Health-Sector data show rising costs tied to travel nurses, as demand for private agency nurses spiked, costing more than $240 million since 2022 with overspending reported earlier this year.
- Yvette Coffey congratulated Tony Wakeham, premier-designate, and urged talks on his campaign promises while pushing for an independent health-sector safety council and good-faith bargaining.
- The result continues a regional Conservative trend as Tony Wakeham says dealing with provincial debt expected to reach almost $20 billion next year will be a key priority.
