Issues
Muskrat Falls
The tentative deal to develop the $6.2 billion Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in Labrador was negotiated by the Progressive Conservative government in November 2010. The Liberal Party opposes the deal, saying it is bad for the province because it will increase the province's debt and will see electricity rates increase for consumers. The NDP have had similar concerns and both party leaders have called for spending on the project to stop until more independent analysis' can be conducted to see if the current deal is the best one for the province.QuickList of issues in N.L.'s election http://www.metronews.ca/halifax/canada/article/973332--quicklist-of-issues-in-n-l-s-election--page0 September 20, 2011 Metro News September 20, 2011February 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes Navigant Consulting releases report on proposed Nalcor Energy Muskrat Falls, Labrador power plant http://www.dcnonl.com/article/id46731?search_term=water%20construction%20environmental%20condominium%20hospital%20mechanical%20hvac%20transmission%20electrical September 20, 2011 Daily Commercial News https://web.archive.org/web/20120324103834/http://www.dcnonl.com/article/id46731?search_term=water%20construction%20environmental%20condominium%20hospital%20mechanical%20hvac%20transmission%20electrical March 24, 2012 dead mdy-all
Public sector pension increases
The Liberal Party announced they would provide a one-time increase to public sector pensioners of 2.5%, as well as provide annual increases equivalent to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) up to 2%. While Aylward has said increasing payments would cost $13 million in the first year and about $10 million extra for each additional year, the Department of Finance stated that the plan would add $1.2 billion in additional liabilities to the pension plan.Liberals promise pension increase https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/liberals-promise-pension-increase-1.1023970 September 20, 2011 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation September 20, 2011 September 24, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110924085627/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2011/09/19/nl-liberals-pension-increase-20110919.html live Dunderdale slammed the Liberal Party's plan calling it 'foolhardy'.Grit pension promise 'foolhardy': Tories https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/grit-pension-promise-foolhardy-tories-1.1076434 September 20, 2011 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation September 20, 2011 September 21, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110921043352/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nlvotes2011/story/2011/09/20/nl-pensions-pcs-liberals-nlvotes-920.html live

Dumaresque comment
Controversy arose at the St. John's Board of Trade debate when Liberal candidate Danny Dumaresque was asked about an appeal by the mayor of St. John's for a new financial arrangement between the city and the provincial government. Dumaresque stated that "there are a hell of a lot more priorities outside the overpass that need to be addressed before we start forking more money over to the City of St. John's." The comment led to divisions within the party, with Liberal candidate Drew Brown stating it was an “idiotic comment by an idiotic man.”St. John's comment splits Liberals https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/st-john-s-comment-splits-liberals-1.1006877 October 17, 2011 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation September 28, 2011 October 20, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20111020012224/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2011/09/28/nl-liberals-stjohns-nlvotes-928.html liveNoseworthy no-show called 'arrogant' https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/noseworthy-no-show-called-arrogant-1.1030808 October 17, 2011 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation October 5, 2011 October 13, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20111013095957/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2011/10/05/nl-michael-noseworthy-debate-105.html live
