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.

Repeats support for government action to create affordable housing units through purchase and partnership.
Simultaneously, what's been put forward—and I say this for the interest of Canadians watching us at home right now—is that the Government of British Columbia is proposing to purchase 2,200 units at below market value so they can effectively repurpose them into affordable housing in a rent-to-own model. To be crystal clear, the Government of British Columbia would be purchasing 2,200 homes and turning them into affordable units.Source of that line

Has the department commissioned or gathered estimates on the economic impact of AI on Canadian Heritage and on Canada's cultural industries? I'd be very curious to hear from you on that.Source of that line
