4 of the 7 MPs from Newfoundland and Labrador belong to the Liberal Party of Canada. Harbour Breton is a town by Statistics Canada’s count of municipalities. In Newfoundland and Labrador, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Harbour Breton’s mayor isn’t named. The House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador’s riding map is published without a licence, so this page doesn’t place Harbour Breton in a riding.

- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
