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.
Climate
Faster fossil phase-down
The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first
Supports infrastructure and green projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Investments in cultural, road, and public transit infrastructure are also needed in order to improve the quality of life of my constituents in Laval. I am also thinking of such projects as the subway extension to Montmorency and the extension from Côte-Vertu to Laval, which would reduce traffic congestion and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with it. These projects mean that my colleagues from Laval and I need to show leadership so that our region gets its fair share of the infrastructure investments promised in this budget over the next few years.Source of that line
Defence
Restrain spending and deployments
The other end of this axis: Higher spending and more capability
Opposes CF-18 strikes on ISIS due to high cost and prefers humanitarian aid and training.
There was a high cost for our involvement with the CF-18s. Our government has decided to use this money to provide humanitarian aid to those who are in need, and that is exactly what we are going to do. Coupled with that, our government is undertaking to provide excellent training to the army forces and the police of Iraq.Source of that line
Energy
Restrict new oil and gas
The other end of this axis: Expand production and export
backs green infrastructure and EVs
With an eye on climate change, our government also developed a brand new measure for those who cannot use public transit and want to decrease their greenhouse gas emissions.Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Emphasizes federal funding and support for Quebec-led projects and transfers to provinces.
I can assure my colleague that we will continue to stand up for Quebec, as we are doing now, and much more than our friends across the aisle did. We take Quebec's interests to heart. Indeed, 40 members from Quebec work day and night to improve the lives of Quebec citizens.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Higher taxes and public spending
The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending
Supports major new spending on child benefits, infrastructure, and seniors without immediate balancing.
The CCB will boost our economy by injecting $5.4 billion a year into it, beginning this July. The multiplier effects of this spending by Canadian households will lead to job creation and sustained economic activity month after month after month.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Supports increased federal health transfers and dental care funding.
The budget provides an additional $295 million in federal health transfers for Quebec, for a total of $8.8 billion this year. Quebec will receive an additional $82 million for social programs, for a total of $3.Source of that line
Housing
Public supply and demand controls
The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation
Calls for government investment in affordable and social housing.
Many of them are in a precarious position and are also calling for affordable housing. I am pleased that this budget already meets some of their needs.Source of that line
Immigration
Higher permanent intake
The other end of this axis: Lower intake
Praises refugee resettlement program and supports admitting skilled workers.
As a matter of fact, the world knows that Canada's Minister of Immigration has done a beautiful job. His program has been welcomed at the United Nations and several countries around the world have adopted it. Regarding our involvement in the fight against ISIS, as we all know, Canada is providing logistics and training for the Iraqi army to be capable of fighting ISIS.Source of that line
