The Progressive Conservatives have allocated $3.5 million in their election platform to eliminate the 1.6-kilometre busing policy for students. "The 1.6 [kilometre] policy will be gone," David Brazil, the Tory candidate for Conception Bay East–Bell Island, told CBC News. But Brazil said those estimates were "overinflated," and the Tories are confident they can make the change for much less.

Brazil indicated that all kids will qualify for busing to school, no matter where they live, under the PC plan.
