Which Canadian province consists of a section of the mainland along the coast of the labrador sea and an island?

While the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador might seem to be the most obvious answer to the question, in fact every province has at least one island. The question, please note, was not limited to islands off the coast. Even if the question had referred only to islands off the coast, half of Canada's ten provinces would have qualified. British Columbia has several islands off the coast, the largest of which is Vancouver Island. Alberta and Saskatchewan are landlocked provinces and would not qualify. Manitoba and Ontario both have coastline on Hudson Bay, but all the islands in Hudson Bay are part of Nunavut. Québec's Anticosti Island and Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island are further examples of islands off the coast being included as part of a province. In addition, both New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island have several islands off the coast, but Prince Edward Island does not include any of Canada's mainland.
