Slower phase-down, production first

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

Excerpts repeat that carbon tax hurts economy without cutting global emissions.

Unless large and developing countries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, global emissions will not decrease. Let me repeat that one more time: Unless large and developing countries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, global emissions will not decrease.

Higher spending and more capability

The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments

Excerpt criticizes cuts and shortfalls, demands more funding and capability.

Budget 2017 makes major cuts to defence, despite demands from the U.S. that NATO members commit to spend at least 2% of their GDP. The government is deferring $8.

Expand production and export

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

Excerpts criticize carbon tax and promote LNG exports to expand markets.

One key opportunity is exporting Canadian LNG to break the European dependence on natural gas from Russia. As we know, the Russian government is using its natural gas exports as leverage over European markets.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

Excerpts repeat calls for tax relief, balanced budgets and criticism of deficits.

To date our government has taken actions that will provide nearly $200 billion in tax relief over this and the next five years, $140 billion of which will be for individuals, families and seniors. This past summer I had the special honour of hosting the hon.

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Excerpts support sanctions on North Korea and pressure on Sudan.

Earlier today the Minister of Foreign Affairs announced new sanctions and diplomatic actions against the North Korean regime. Could the minister elaborate on the actions our government is taking with respect to North Korea?

Market supply and deregulation

The other end of this axis: Public supply and demand controls

Excerpt criticizes government policies that harm housing affordability and supply.

After nine years of bungling the economy, inflation, taxation and housing, the government finally has acknowledged that what it has been doing is not working. It is acknowledging that it has done generational harm to millennials, gen Z and other younger folks.

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpts call for tougher treatment of violent offenders and limits on early parole.

Speaker, without commenting on the specific case, could the minister explain why repeat violent offenders are being let out on the street? Will the government admit that the current system is simply not working? How many more tragedies have to occur before the Liberal government realizes that we need to be tougher with violent offenders? Why do the rights of convicted criminals continue to supercede the rights of law-abiding citizens and innocent victims?

Deeper continental integration

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

Excerpts back multiple FTAs including CUSMA and stress benefits of trade with the US.

Mexico and especially the United States are Canada's natural trading partners. A framework agreement that governs trade and other commercial issues between all three countries is essential. I would like to state from the beginning that the Conservatives will support the speedy ratification of CUSMA's implementing legislation.
