Fuel and transportation costs platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Reduce tolls on the Confederation Bridge from $50 to $20
  • Lower costs for passengers by at least half on the Northumberland Ferries, several Marine Atlantic ferry routes, and The Coopérative de Transport Maritime et Aérien ferry

    "We will also lower costs by at least half for passengers on the following routes:

    1. The Northumberland Ferries, while commiting to the long-term viability of the two-ferry service;
    2. The Marine Atlantic ferry routes between Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador, North Sydney, Nova Scotia, and between Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador and North Sydney, Nova Scotia; and,
    3. The Coopérative de Transport Maritime et Aérien ferry in cooperation with the Government of Quebec.

    We will also reduce fares for those using these routes to transport goods. Significantly reducing the costs associated with the Confederation Bridge and these ferry services will make it easier to trade between provinces, unite Canada, and build one Canadian economy."

Conservative

  • Commit $50M to removing tolls on the Confederation Bridge

    "Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman announced today that a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre will scrap the tolls on the Confederation Bridge to save residents and businesses over $50 every time they travel to the mainland." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

    "This $50 million commitment will cover the operating costs for the Confederation Bridge which is currently paid for with tolls. It will end the unfair tax that Islanders have to pay just to leave their own province, keeping more of their money in their pockets." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

  • Review government support for the Wood Islands-Caribou ferry to Nova Scotia

    "Conservatives will also immediately conduct a review of federal support for the Wood Islands-Caribou ferry." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
