The NDP has released its party platform, which outlines a projected surplus through 2030.

The New Democrats are promising that a government it leads would be in the black to the tune of $500-million by 2030.

The cost breakdown indicates $2-billion in new savings and revenue, primarily based on surplus figures from the Department of Finance. This includes eliminating travel nursing payouts and oil subsidies, as well as reducing expenses for travel, advertising, and OilCo.

It also budgets money made from the MOU with Hydro-Québec on the development of Churchill Falls, but Leader Jim Dinn says he will have to negotiate a “better deal.”

The party also plans to leverage new income generated from an increase in the minimum wage, which will be used to offset the reduction of corporate income tax for small businesses.

Dinn says his party will “repurpose” money already allocated in the existing budget to find more savings within government.
