In their own words
4,047 Hansard interventions on file. These are the words said in the House, not a summary. Private conversations are not collected and are not invented.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I would like to thank all the witnesses for their presentations. It has been very interesting indeed. Today, we have a splendid line-up of witnesses from all sorts of organizations across Canada. As I only have six minutes of speaking time, I will ask t…Debate · 2026-06-09
Where they stand
Policy positions are scored only from this member's stored House words and, when it is on file, their own public website. Wikipedia and other encyclopedias may supply details such as a birth date, education or work history, and each of those details is labelled with its source, but they are never used to score a position. Members whose only sources are encyclopedias have no scored positions.
A stored score on 9 of 14 topics. Each row names the end of that topic’s axis the stored words reached, and the sentence the score rests on.
Agriculture
Defend supply management
The other end of this axis: Liberalize supply management
Excerpts repeat support for supply management and opposition to changes harming producers.
They want the right to produce, and that is why we protected supply management and our policies always sought to protect supply management. Could my colleague give us her opinion on that? The reality is that dairy farmers want to contribute to the Canadian economy, not by getting government contributions that take money out of taxpayers' pockets, but by simply producing and reaping the fruits of their labour.Source of that line
Climate
Slower phase-down, production first
The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down
Excerpt criticizes carbon tax as devastating for jobs and businesses.
Then there is the carbon tax. This tax will be devastating for job creation not just for me, as an entrepreneur, but for all Canadians. On top of that, we have the mandatory increase in CPP contributions to look forward to.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Excerpt calls for pipeline to create jobs and tax revenue.
In Quebec alone, many thousands of jobs providing a steady income for many families would be created, and more than $900 million in tax revenue would be generated. That is even before the pipeline becomes operational.Source of that line
Federalism
Ottawa leads
The other end of this axis: Provinces lead
Excerpt cites OECD and IMF in favor of single national regulator over provincial diversity.
A single regulator would eliminate the inefficiencies created by the limited enforcement authority of individual provincial agencies, The International Monetary Fund (IMF) noted the following in its report on Canada: 2009 Article IV consultation.Source of that line
Financial regulation
Tighter prudential rules
The other end of this axis: Lighter capital rules and more competition
Excerpt advocates new federal regulator for better enforcement against white-collar crime.
Giving the regulatory body the opportunity to investigate these crimes will allow it to take on a role that complements that of the police, bringing in new expertise, providing additional resources and increasing the field staff in order to combat securities-related crimes.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
Excerpt criticizes Liberal deficits as three times higher than promised and lacking a balanced-budget plan.
Scotiabank issued a statement today, on top of all the others it has issued over the past few weeks, to inform Canadians that the deficit will not be $10 billion, as it had previously announced, but rather somewhere between $32 billion and $35 billion. That is three times higher than planned.Source of that line
Foreign affairs
Assertive alliances and sanctions
The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint
Excerpt criticizes adviser for downplaying NATO threats to Ukraine.
Speaker, the adviser to the Minister of Foreign Affairs not only accused NATO of amplifying threats, which are already serious in Ukraine, but he also invited Israel to reach out to Iran, the same country that wants to destroy the only democratic state in the Middle East.Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Excerpts support ending early parole for white-collar offenders and stronger victim protections.
These changes will ensure that the protection of society becomes the paramount principle of the corrections and conditional release system. The punishment should fit the crime, and the rights of criminals should not come ahead of the rights of victims and law-abiding citizens Once again, we have listened to Quebeckers and Canadians.Source of that line
Trade
Deeper continental integration
The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner
Excerpt promotes removing tariffs to create jobs and show Canada is open for business.
Speaker, today, our government announced that it would be taking action to eliminate all remaining tariffs on manufacturing inputs and machinery and equipment. This will keep us ahead of the pack and show the rest of the world that we are open for business.Source of that line
