The New Brunswick Young Progressive Conservative Association seeks to
actively assist in the election of official candidates of the
Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick (PCNB) and the
Conservative Party of Canada (CPC), to stimulate a greater interest in
politics among young people in New Brunswick by the promotion and
discussion of the principles and policies of PCNB and CPC, and to
establish and maintain an active membership by encouraging the
formation of recognized clubs and providing educational, political and
social activities.
The following strategy is how a Progressive Conservative government under the leadership of David Alward will work together with the people of New Brunswick to meet the challenges and opportunities facing our province to ensure we maximize our potential and achieve our goals within the energy sector.

All are examples that make New Brunswickers ask the question, whose interests are being served
Learn MoreIt is shameful how the Shawn Graham Liberals have managed the public purse. They have squandered away millions of taxpayer dollars on poor investment decisions and frivolous spending, adding billions to the province’s debt – and what is worse; we still don’t know how bad things are.
Learn MoreThe cornerstone of our democratic system is enabling citizens to freely express their opinions at the ballot box. Over the past four years we have seen a number of opportunities to engage New Brunswickers through voting tossed aside because of political expediency and self-interest.
Learn MoreLast fall our Party held a wide-ranging and open debate on new policies that would form the foundation of our next election platform. Throughout the consultation process, people told us that they wanted common-sense policies and solutions, they wanted a government that would listen to their concerns, and more importantly, they wanted to be treated with respect and sincerity.
Learn MoreIt should not be difficult for people to engage with their government. Unfortunately the current system forces those who want to obtain information to jump through a number of hoops and in some cases spend hundreds of dollars. We need to make the process simpler, efficient and proactive.
Citizen engagement is too important to simply be the responsibility of one Minister – it is the responsibility of all Ministers, in fact, it is the responsibility of everyone within government.
We need to do more to put people at the heart of decision-making in this province. This means including under-represented groups in our institutions, ensuring that political voices are heard so they don’t feel they are shut out of the process, and making the Legislative Assembly more relevant and meaningful - not only at election time, but all of the time.
