Way Forward Commitment:
Our Government will leverage federal programs and policies to ensure that the related funding is applicable and suitable to Newfoundland and Labrador. We will complete a review of federal program, policy and funding initiatives currently in place and potentially available to the province by June 30, 2017. In the longer-term, our Government will aim to increase the level of federal funding to the province and the number of federal-provincial programs and initiatives in which Newfoundland and Labrador is participating.
In 2018-19, our government will continue to build intergovernmental partnerships that create opportunities for Newfoundland and Labrador to maximize provincial benefit from federal programs and other funding sources.
