Mike Goosney is a Canadian politician from Newfoundland and Labrador. He was elected to the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly as the member for Humber-Gros Morne in the 2025 general election.

Political career

[edit]

Goosney was a steel worker before entering politics. He served on the town councils in Labrador City and Deer Lake, and he served as the mayor of Deer Lake for four years.[1]

Goosney was previously a member of the Newfoundland and Labrador New Democratic Party and competed in the party's 2015 leadership election, coming in second behind then-leader Earle McCurdy. He also ran as the party's candidate for Humber-Gros Morne in that year's general election. After joining the Progressive Conservative Party (PCs), Goosney competed in the 2020 by-election for the same riding, coming in second place behind Premier Andrew Furey.[2] Goosney's third candidacy for the House of Assembly in 2025 was successful.

On October 29, 2025 Goosney was appointed Minister of Government Services, Minister of Labour, Minister Responsible for Office of the Chief Information Officer, and Minister Responsible for WorkplaceNL.[3]

On August 20, 2026, following a cabinet shuffle in the Wakeham ministry, Goosney was appointed to the new roles of Minister of Tourism, Culture and Arts, Minister of Sport, Recreation and Parks, Minister Responsible for PictureNL, Minister Responsible for the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council, and Minister Responsible for the Pippy Park Commission.[4]

On September 17, 2026, Goosney voted to approve the Churchill Falls Definitive Cooperation and Implementation Agreement (DCIA) in the House of Assembly along with the PC caucus.[5][6][7][8]
