Slower phase-down, production first

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

use fossil fuels to help other countries reduce emissions with holistic global approach

Does he believe that the government carefully explored all of the options before deciding to focus solely on electric vehicles? For example, we could use our fossil fuels to have a positive environmental impact on the entire planet by selling them and helping other countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Does my colleague not agree that it would make more sense to take a holistic approach on a global scale rather than focusing solely on our own domestic policies?

Expand production and export

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

build pipelines and repeal anti-energy legislation to expand production

Will the Liberal government approve the building of pipelines in Canada today?

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

States Ottawa should focus on few areas and leave the rest to provinces that understand local realities.

For Conservatives, it is very important that Ottawa not interfere in these areas, and that it manage its own affairs. Ottawa should focus on managing only a few key areas and leave the rest to the provinces, because they are the ones who truly understand their day-to-day realities. In closing, I want to come back to something extremely important: trust in our institutions, trust in democracy and trust in rights and freedoms.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

Repeatedly condemns large deficits, higher spending and hidden taxes while calling for restraint.

They are recklessly spending the money of future generations. This morning, we learned that groceries is the area where 80% of Canadians are being squeezed the most in their budgets.

More private delivery

The other end of this axis: Expand public coverage

Criticizes free health care for asylum seekers when Canadians lack doctors.

Speaker, Canadians like Noelle, Richard, Christiane and Aaron all ask me the same question: Why do asylum seekers, even those whose applications have been rejected and who should no longer be in the country, have access to free health care when taxpayers do not even have a family doctor? The interim federal health program has grown from $211 million a year to $1.

Market supply and deregulation

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

lower taxes, build more housing and cut bureaucracy to improve affordability

Can we finally put common sense back at the heart of our policies and do what the Conservative Party is proposing, which is to lower taxes, build more housing, and make the dream of home ownership accessible again so that families can finally settle in the beautiful Montmorency—Charlevoix region?

Lower intake

The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

Repeatedly highlights pressure from high numbers of asylum seekers and non-permanent residents on systems.

On January 1, 2025, Quebec had 616,000 non-permanent residents. This includes asylum seekers, refugees, temporary workers and international students. This puts pressure on day care centres, schools and our health care system. How many will there need to be before the minister admits that the system has collapsed and that we are no longer able to provide proper care to Quebeckers and Canadians? Basically, at what point do we turn off the tap so we can take car

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

gun control diverts resources from addressing criminal use of firearms

Madam Chair, I will quote the National Police Federation, which said that Bill C‑21 diverts extremely important personnel, resources, and funding away from addressing the more immediate and growing threat of criminal use of firearms. Does the minister agree with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's statement?
