Who We Are

The NDP: Clear in our values
The NDP introduced Medicare to Canada. We fought for universal education, for pensions, and for social services. We know societies have to make choices about where to spend their money, and we have always been clear that we need strong and efficient public services, with the funding to do their job. That’s the only way we can create a strong and caring society, where the least powerful have the opportunity to do well in school, at work, and in life.

The NDP: Realistic
You can only afford strong front-line public services if you have a strong economy. And you can only have a strong economy if you have strong businesses, a competitive tax system, and a well-educated and healthy population ready to make the private and public sector as effective and efficient as possible.

Hard-working middle-class families want a change. They can see the Legislature is not working, and the Conservatives and Liberals have run out of ideas to make things better. It’s time for a voice for the middle class. It’s time for the NDP.

The NDP: Positive
New Brunswick faces many challenges. Decades of Conservative and Liberal mismanagement have left us with a crippling debt, a literacy crisis, and a declining economy. In this guide you can see how the NDP will address those challenges. But we want to go further.

The NDP wants to build a rich and dynamic province where every child has the opportunity to excel. We want an expanding population supporting an expanding economy. We want an educated workforce employed by successful businesses, large and small, selling their products to the world and paying fair taxes to support a dynamic public service.

Our vision of New Brunswick is yours.
Our priorities are yours. The NDP, if we are elected as government, or are asked to be part of a government, will focus on balancing the books to save health and education.

Until the debt is under control, any new government programs must be offset with cuts elsewhere.
