Pursue Greater Collaboration with Quebec

On-going

Way Forward Commitment:

Quebec is the only jurisdiction with which Newfoundland and Labrador shares a land border. It therefore makes sense that we work together to develop resources that straddle our border and to support the movement of residents, goods and services between provinces. Our governments have entered into an agreement on the development of mining in the Labrador Trough and the improvement and extension of road infrastructure. This partnership will foster the growth of economic opportunities for businesses and communities that benefit both provinces.

What We’ve Accomplished:

  • The Governments of Newfoundland and Labrador and Québec are working together to grow their respective economies by developing the Labrador Trough and improving road infrastructure.
  • The two provinces will also work together to improve transportation infrastructure, further developing an economic corridor that links Newfoundland and Labrador to Québec.
  • With respect to the Labrador Trough, this agreement provides for the following joint works aimed at enhancing collaboration in the following areas of shared interest:
    • Geotechnical information and land use planning;
    • Infrastructure for the mining sector;
    • Labour and skills;
    • Telecommunications development; and,
    • Enhancements to government processes and business supports.
