Slower phase-down, production first

The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down

Excerpts repeat criticism of carbon tax and support for natural gas production and exports over taxes.

Canada's environmentally responsible natural gas can provide the low-carbon intensity to power India's economic expansion. It will also provide the clean, reliable fuel that will ensure poor families have healthier air in their homes.

Expand production and export

The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas

Excerpts repeat opposition to restrictions on oil and gas and calls to expand exports and pipelines.

This legislation is yet another blatant attack on Canada's energy sector, along with all the high-paying and high-quality jobs that go with it. The current government can talk about balancing the environment and the economy, but this proposed legislation is not balanced, and it is a direct threat to the viability of Canada's energy sector.

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Criticizes federal expansion into provincial areas like upstream emissions and impact assessments that delay projects.

That is traditionally a provincial area of jurisdiction but now that that's been included in the NEB, are we not creating more regulations? And what is the impact of those increased regulations on our energy sector?

Lower taxes and tighter spending

The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending

Excerpts criticize deficits and tax hikes while favoring spending restraint and growth through energy.

I would like to see the government start trimming these deficits. However, the Liberals cannot seem to kick the habit of spending more than they take in, even with significant tax hikes on small businesses.

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Calls for holding Iran accountable, supporting Israel and taking strong action against human rights violators and war criminals.

First and foremost, I would like to rise today to declare that I will always stand by and support the State of Israel, the homeland of the Jewish people and also home to people of many faiths and nations. I am proud to live in a country and serve in a parliament that stands as a steadfast ally to our friend and ally, Israel.

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpts support bail reform and criticize soft-on-crime policies.

Dane Raises Spring Meadows Crisis — Demands Bail Reform Dane spoke in the House about a constituent in Spring Meadows Estates whose neighbour's house was shot up twice in three weeks by extortionists.

Deeper continental integration

The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner

Focuses on strengthening trade ties with the United States and Mexico through USMCA and energy exports.

With that strong mandate, I come to speak before this House on an issue that is of great importance to the people of my riding: our relationship with our largest trading partners, the United States and Mexico. Sturgeon River—Parkland is composed of the counties of Sturgeon, Parkland and Lac Ste.
