Experience

Our sources do not list any previous employment for this member.

    In their own words

    5,069 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, my question concerns environmental assessments. The government is removing the task of assessing energy projects from scientists and handing it over to the Canada Energy Regulator. Let us look at who the commissioners are: The lead commissioner is the former senior…Government Orders — Building Canada Strong Act · 2026-09-25

    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 9 of 14 topics. Each row names the end of that topic’s axis the stored words reached, and the sentence the score rests on.

    Agriculture

    Defend supply management

    The other end of this axis: Liberalize supply management

    Repeatedly demands protection and compensation for dairy producers under supply management and criticizes imports and trade concessions.

    Will the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food promise to quickly and once and for all tighten import controls and put in place compensation for milk producers?

    Climate

    Faster fossil phase-down

    The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first

    Criticizes fossil fuel subsidies and the government's focus on oil production over green transition.

    The government is saying all the right things to the rest of the world, but it is on a catastrophic collision course with climate change. Unless the government plans for a fossil-fuel-free future, Canada will drag down Quebec and every other nation fighting global warming.

    Energy

    Restrict new oil and gas

    The other end of this axis: Expand production and export

    Opposes new oil projects and criticizes subsidies that expand fossil production.

    Even as the IPCC is saying that we need to drop any new oil projects if we are to stand a chance of avoiding disaster, know-it-all Ottawa goes and does the opposite. It sends its Minister of Environment and Climate Change to announce a one-billion barrel project.

    Federalism

    Provinces lead

    The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

    Repeatedly asserts Quebec's autonomy and criticizes Ottawa for neglecting Quebec's share and jurisdiction.

    In short, Quebec will be stuck with all of the responsibilities and the costs, and it will cost a lot. All that Ottawa is going to do is issue the production licences.

    Fiscal policy

    Higher taxes and public spending

    The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending

    Advocates progressive taxation on banks, closing tax havens, and increased transfers for health and education.

    We fully support the principle of progressive taxation, and we believe it should be implemented to a greater degree. The idea is that the wealthiest contribute more to funding public services, which are universal and used by everyone.
    Source of that line

    Health

    Expand public coverage

    The other end of this axis: More private delivery

    Calls for higher federal health transfers and comprehensive public care including drugs and dental.

    We believe that a person who falls ill has basic needs and is entitled to comprehensive care. Unfortunately, the current lack of funding means that many people do not have access to the care they need.

    Housing

    Public supply and demand controls

    The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation

    Supports government intervention and funding to address housing shortages and affordability.

    Any self-respecting society must at least be able to ensure that every individual has access to housing. The cost of housing must also be reasonable.
    Source of that line

    Labour

    Stronger unions and standards

    The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers

    Defends collective bargaining rights and opposes special legislation limiting strikes.

    The government turns around, introduces special legislation, sets aside the rules and takes away any bargaining power from workers. It is the undisputed expert in deceit.
    Source of that line

    Trade

    Diversify away from one partner

    The other end of this axis: Deeper continental integration

    Supports market access but criticizes deals that harm Quebec industries and demands compensation.

    The Canada-Europe agreement will open the Canadian market, including the Quebec market, to European cheese products, but the reverse is not true. Under WTO rules, the supply management system does not allow us to export our products.
