The Strategic Partnership (formerly called the Strategic Partnership Initiative – SPI) was formed in 2002 to provide a forum for open dialogue among  government, labour and business (represented by the Government of  Newfoundland and Labrador, the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of  Labour, and the Newfoundland and Labrador Business Coalition). It is a dynamic  partnership, unique to North America, modeled after several European examples  which had delivered significant economic and social development benefits to  their jurisdictions, most notably Ireland.
The Strategic Partnership Council is the governing body of the Strategic  Partnership.   The membership of the Strategic Partnership Council comprises  four members selected and appointed by each of the three partners: labour,  business and the provincial government; as well as an independent chair  chosen through the mutual consent of the three partners.
