Tax measures and rebates
Liberal's promise
"This middle-class tax cut will save two-income families up to $825 a year, by reducing the marginal tax rate on the lowest tax bracket by 1 percentage point. More than 22 million Canadians will benefit directly from this tax cut, and middle- and low-income Canadians will benefit the most." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

Manufacturing
Liberal's promises
"Create a $2 billion Strategic Response Fund to boost our auto sector’s competitiveness, protect manufacturing jobs, support workers to upskill their expertise in the industry, and build a fortified Canadian supply chain – from raw materials to finished vehicles." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"Build an “All-in-Canada” network for auto manufacturing component parts. With this network, we will work with industry to build more car parts in Canada, limit those parts crossing the border during production, and attract investment into our own industry." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
Sovereignty, Foreign Relations, & the United States
National defence
Liberal's promises
"Expand the capabilities of the Navy with new submarines and additional heavy icebreakers to defend the North." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"Creating a first-in-class drone capability that will build and deploy aquatic and airborne uncrewed vehicles to defend our arctic, our undersea infrastructure, our borders, and our allies. This new capability will be matched with an industrial strategy that builds and perfects these technologies so that Canadian companies benefit from Canadian procurements." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will expand the reach and abilities of the Canadian Coast Guard and integrate them into our NATO defence capabilities. Our Coast Guard carries out important work, but we need to update their mission to face changing realities to protect our sovereignty and counter criminal activity, like the trafficking of illicit drugs. That’s why we will give the Canadian Coast Guard a new mandate—and the right equipment—to conduct maritime surveillance operations to secure our coasts." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will modernize our procurement legislation to ensure our Forces can buy the equipment that they need, when they need it—which is now. We can also swiftly surpass our existing defence spending targets and bolster our capabilities by investing in dual purpose infrastructure—whether housing, cybersecurity, or satellite technology—that delivers immediate benefits for both our Forces and the public." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
"We will end the chronic lapsing of defence spending, through the creation of a defence capital account that ensures that even when the timing of an investment changes, every dollar assigned to Canada’s defence will remain for that purpose." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14
Biography
Philip grew up in L’Anse au Loup and Forteau, close-knit communities in the Labrador Straits where hard work, helping your neighbours, and a connection to the land were part of everyday life. Those early values laid the foundation for a lifelong commitment to Labrador, its people, its progress, and its future.
Philip has lived in Happy Valley–Goose Bay with his family for the past two decades. During that time, he’s built a career focused on delivering essential services to communities across the Big Land. His work in aviation first with Air Labrador and later as Vice President of Air Borealis, both Indigenous-owned airlines helped improve vital connections throughout Labrador and into Newfoundland and Quebec. He’s worked closely with Innu and Inuit communities, forming partnerships built on trust, respect, and shared goals.
With a deep understanding of Labrador’s economy, Philip has always focused on practical, community led development. He began his career supporting rural initiatives through Memorial University and local municipalities and went on to lead successful ventures in Indigenous business, telecommunications, logistics, IT, and the commercial fishing industries that matter to Labrador’s strength and self-reliance.
His experience has also contributed to provincial decision-making. Philip was appointed to the Premier’s Economic Recovery Team and served as a Commissioner with the Independent Appointments Commission, helping bring Labrador’s perspective into the broader conversations shaping Newfoundland and Labrador’s future.
Philip is a Paul Harris Fellow and active member of the Happy Valley–Goose Bay Rotary Club. He has served on the national Board of Directors for the Air Transport Association of Canada and remains a dedicated volunteer often giving back in ways that bring joy to even the furthest reaches of the region.
For Philip, Labrador isn’t just where he’s from, it’s who he is. And through every role he’s held, one thing has remained constant: a deep belief in Labrador’s people and a drive to see the region thrive as a proud, essential part of Canada’s future.
