Agriculture

The PC party is strongly committed to a strong agricultural infrastructure. A PC government would invest more money to aid struggling farms and to boost production of other farms.

Justice

A strong justice system is essential to any government. A PC government would increase police presence in certain neighborhoods. A PC government would also establish minimum and significantly longer sentences for felons convicted of crimes related to drugs or violence, and would ensure that these are served in correctional centres.
Trade

A PC government is committed to fair and free trade between nations, and would take steps to diversify markets by encouraging a competitive marketplace among other policies.

Education

A PC government would ensure additional funding for post-secondary education. A PC government would support annual testing of all students on established evaluations in all subjects studied. Results, in exact percentages, would be compared to provincial, national, and district-wide averages. The PC government would ensure continued funding and support to public education.

Curricula

A PC government would include Antillian History courses in all junior and high schools in Antillia, and a course in World Religions. Mandatory Physical and Health education courses would also be established, in addition to various Career exploration programs in various careers and trades.

Government

A PC government would ensure more free votes on important issues, support referendum when necessary. Equally, a PC government would support de-centralization and federalism to protect Antillia's ethnic and linguistic diversity. Other measures, such as electoral reform, term limit, and direct democracy will be studied by an independent parliamentary and citizen commission.

Environment

Living in a clean environment should be an important issue for any government. The Progressive Conservative Party supports ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and supports further funding in renewable energy and clean technologies. A PC government would be committed to a clean soil, air, and water and would support water conservation. An independent permanent commission would be set up to advise the government on environmental issues.

The Progressive Conservative Party supports a fair immigration system based on a "point system" with an advantage given to financially capable, criminally sound, and those with needed skills. The Progressive Conservative Party strongly supports the integration of immigrants in the society.

Official Languages

The Progressive Conservative Party supports the principle of English and French as the language of commerce, society and education in Antillia. Provinces should also be able to make language regulations to accommodate various linguistic groups in that province as long as these laws are within their constitutional rights and do not trample on national official language policy.

Finance

A PC government would take steps to eliminate the deficit and would include tax cuts in yearly budgets if the budget or the current financial state of the country allows for it. A PC government would also lower the business tax. We oppose any tax on water. In the eventuality of a surplus, extra funs would be directed to health care and education.

Health Care

The Progressive Conservative Party supports increased funding for health care and promotes innovation and research. A PC government's health care philosophy would be accessible, accountable, and affordable. We believe that every region should have access to decent health services and remote communities should also have decent health services. The Progressive Conservative Party opposes privatization of health care.

Abortion

The Progressive Conservative Party supports a women's right to choose within the first months of the fetus' development. However, the Progressive Conservative Party opposes any abortion in the last months of development.

Labour

The Progressive Conservative Party urges the democratization of trade unions to ensure fairer representation for workers. We believe that no revolutionary tendencies within unions should be allowed.

Minimum Wage

The Progressive Conservative Party supports raising the minimum wage.

Transportation

The Progressive Conservative Party believes that all communities of Antillia should be connected by a modern and decent transportation methods, such as roads. Under a PC government, rapid rail would be constructed, and public transportation systems will receive adequate funding and the use of such systems will be strongly encouraged.

Foreign Policy

The Progressive Conservative Party is a non-militaristic approach to foreign policy, but instead an approach based on humanitarian action and international co-operation roles. A PC government would favor increasing our ties with the European Union, the United States, Canada and various other nations.

Military

The military should receive adequate funding to remain a viable force for the protection of our shoreline and national integrity. However, the PC believes that any money from a surplus should not be used mainly on military build-up.
