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 8 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-managed commodities like dairy and poultry, calling them the core and protection needed for the industry.
Agriculture in the valley is very diverse and innovative, but its core depends on supply-managed commodities like dairy and poultry. They need to see the concessions of the new NAFTA, the USMCA, so they can have a better feeling of how their industry will be going forward.Source of that line
Climate
Slower phase-down, production first
The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down
Criticizes carbon tax on fertilizers and farm equipment as not providing relief and causing higher food prices.
While the government boasts about withdrawing the carbon tax, it left in place the industrial carbon price on fertilizers and farm equipment. That is not relief; that is just politics. The result is that food inflation is 70% higher than the Bank of Canada forecast.Source of that line
Defence
Higher spending and more capability
The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments
Endorses plan to rebuild, rearm and reinvest in Canadian Armed Forces with specific investments at CFB Greenwood.
Speaker, supporting our military with our plan to rebuild, rearm and reinvest in our Canadian Armed Forces is a priority for our new government. Our riding is home to CFB Greenwood, the largest air base in the east coast. Federal investments will support paid infrastructure, RPAS drones and building 208 new housing units. As we strengthen our armed forces, could the Minister of National Defence outline the measures that our government is taking to support CAF members and families based across Canada?Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Excerpts support energy projects like gas pipelines to tidewater.
This project is good for B.C., and it is good for the Wet'suwet'en. It is good for the environment to get that gas from the back side of B.C. to tidewater. Why do we continue to sit in the House and oppose energy projects when we know we need to do these things?Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
Repeatedly criticizes out-of-control spending, massive deficits and generational debt from Liberal policies.
We warned that the Liberals' out-of-control spending and massive deficits were irresponsible, but of course they did not listen. Now, after six months under a new Prime Minister, who promised financial discipline, Canadians are still waiting. He said that he would be judged by the costs at the grocery store.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Calls health care a basic human right and supports national framework for diabetes with federal action.
Health care is a basic human right and we should all ensure the dignity of our loved ones. The government has the responsibility to listen attentively to the provincial premiers, and it should, especially with their request for an augmentation in their health transfers. West Nova's economy is based on natural resources, such as agriculture in the Annapolis Valley, fishing in the southwest, and forestry in all of its regions.Source of that line
Immigration
Higher permanent intake
The other end of this axis: Lower intake
States immigration is very important to regions and calls for viable solutions to attract and retain people for businesses.
Immigration is very important to our regions. Over the past 20 years, we have seen a mass exodus of talent and expertise that were once well established in our regions. Right now, small business owners are having a lot of trouble finding and keeping people who are interested in taking on and running their thriving businesses. Now more than ever, we need to focus on ideas that will contribute viable solutions and help with transfers so that we can make sure these vital businesses and services stay open and available to local residents.Source of that line
Trade
Deeper continental integration
The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner
Excerpts support ratifying the USMCA and stress the importance of U.S. trade.
To say that U.S. trade is important to us is truly an understatement and the trade deal that supports it is paramount. I spend a lot of time talking about the fishing industry in the riding of West Nova which, as we can see, exports almost all its products outside the country, so I thought I would spend the remaining time talking about the agricultural industry.Source of that line
