The Newfoundland and Labrador First Party

-The People's Party?

Of the People, by the People, for the People

We envision a Newfoundland and Labrador to be proud of for generations to come.



The Newfoundland and Labrador First Party will work on both the Provincial as well as the Federal fronts on order to make the difference that we as Newfoundlanders and Labradoreans all deserve. We will work hard:

> to restore government services in rural communities

> to stop out migration

>for rural rights

> maintain our way of life and culture

> restore our traditional hunting and fishing rights

> for joint management of our fishery

The Newfoundland and Labrador First Party is committed to presenting a united front to the Federal Government and the people of Canada on issues of extreme importance to our future. Beyond the Fair Deal our provincial government has made with the Atlantic Accord, there are still issues to address:

>Utilize Article 76 of the Law of the Sea to extend the current 200 mile limit to 350 miles

>Joint management of the Fishery

>A plan to rebuild the cod stocks

>Integrated transportation and tourism initiatives

>Development of the Lower Churchill in keeping with section 92 and 92 A of The Constitution Act, 1867/1982

>Federal political reforms to increase equity among the provinces and territories

The work is just beginning. We Must Not Back Down. We call on every Newfoundlander and Labradorian to take action. Pride alone cannot effect change. We must work together towards our common goal of a Fair Deal.

If we should fail to strike a Fair Deal, we will aggressively pursue an independent Newfoundland and Labrador.

If you share this vision, join us in our quest to rid Newfoundland and Labrador of its have-not status?

We must act now.

NL First: It's time.
