In their own words
386 Hansard interventions on file. These are the words said in the House, not a summary. Private conversations are not collected and are not invented.
Mr. Speaker, Canadians want Canada to build. They want more housing and energy infrastructure, stronger ports, better transportation corridors, and major projects that create jobs and expand our trade. Therefore, the question before Parliament is not whether Canada should build,…Government Orders — Building Canada Strong Act · 2026-09-25

Climate
Slower phase-down, production first
The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down
Excerpts repeat criticism of the industrial carbon tax and call to scrap it.
It is fuelled by the industrial carbon tax, which is a policy that drives up costs for farmers, manufacturers, miners and energy workers while pushing investment abroad. This tax alone adds billions in compliance costs each year, eroding competitiveness and feeding the inflation it claims to fight.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Excerpts repeat call to scrap the carbon tax harming energy workers and production.

Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Excerpts emphasize municipal and provincial actions and concerns over federal inaction on property.
Third, Richmond city council repeatedly attempted to engage with the Liberal government. It wrote letters seeking clarity on the implications of the Cowichan and Musqueam agreements and the border concerns surrounding land title certainty and federal litigation policy.Source of that line
Financial regulation
Lighter capital rules and more competition
The other end of this axis: Tighter prudential rules
Excerpts criticize compliance costs passed to consumers and call for less burden.
We warned that the cost of compliance would inevitably be passed down to ordinary Canadians through higher phone bills and banking fees. We warned that the legislation was focused on the wrong targets, federally regulated banks, pipelines and telecom companies, while leaving out the institutions Canadians actually see attacked most often: hospitals, municipalities and schools.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
Excerpts repeatedly criticize deficits, high taxes and call for fiscal restraint.
This budget adds $78 billion in new deficit spending, the costliest outside of COVID, and pushes total federal debt to $1.35 trillion. Interest payments on that debt will reach $55.Source of that line
Housing
Market supply and deregulation
The other end of this axis: Public supply and demand controls
Excerpts criticize government bureaucracy and failed plans, favoring actual building by market.
The Prime Minister builds bureaucracy, not homes. Canadians cannot live in promises. They need homes.Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Excerpts repeat calls for bail reform and against catch-and-release to prioritize protection.
The bail system right now is catch-and-release. Prosecutors, as well as judges, are being told they have to release the accused at the earliest possible moment and with the least restrictions.Source of that line
