In their own words
1,539 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, the Liberals have lost touch with reality. Quebeckers' pockets are empty. In Bellechasse, a young mother without child care services is forced to stay home, living on a fraction of her income, and leaving her partner to pay all the bills. Paying $1,200 in rent along…Oral Questions — The Economy · 2026-09-24
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 6 of 14 topics. Each row names the end of that topic’s axis the stored words reached, and the sentence the score rests on.
Climate
Slower phase-down, production first
The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down
Repeatedly calls for axing or not increasing the carbon tax, arguing it harms farmers, the economy and Canadians without environmental benefit.
On this side, everyone understands that axing the carbon tax is the right thing to do for our farmers.Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Argues Quebec and other provinces have the situation under control and the federal government should respect their wishes not to apply federal emergency measures.
Speaker, Quebec and other provinces have the situation under control without using the Emergencies Act. In fact, they do not want it. The Prime Minister has been warned.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
Repeatedly criticizes excessive spending and new taxes, calls for fiscal responsibility, no new taxes, and a path to balance.
That, given that, (i) excessive government spending has increased the deficit, the national debt, and fuelled inflation to its highest level in 31 years, (ii) taxes on Canadians continue to increase, from the carbon tax to escalator taxes to Canada Pension Plan premiums, (iii) the government refuses to provide relief to Canadians by temporarily reducing the Goods and Services Tax on gasoline and diesel, the House call on the government to present a federal budget rooted in fiscal responsibility, with no new taxes, a path to balance, and a meaningful fiscal anchor. I rise today to try to make the government listen to reason.Source of that line
Immigration
Higher permanent intake
The other end of this axis: Lower intake
Criticizes delays in processing temporary foreign worker permits and calls for faster action to fill labor shortages.
A landscaping company in my riding has to wait 10 to 12 weeks to get a work permit for temporary foreign workers. In 12 weeks, summer will be over.Source of that line
Labour
Stronger unions and standards
The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers
The member introduced a bill extending the time for former employees to file harassment complaints under the Canada Labour Code.
The idea of introducing a bill that would give a former employee more time, namely two years, to file a harassment complaint under the Canada Labour Code came to me quite naturally. When I was the labour minister in Quebec's National Assembly, I revamped many of Quebec's labour standards.Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Repeatedly criticizes soft-on-crime policies and calls for mandatory sentences and harsher penalties for violent crimes.
We stand on the side of victims. It is disappointing to see this government openly siding with criminals. It is even letting them serve their sentence at home for such crimes as armed robbery and extortion with a firearm.Source of that line
