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.
Agriculture
Defend supply management
The other end of this axis: Liberalize supply management
Repeats that supply management must be maintained and kept off the table in US talks.
Our government is determined to maintain supply management, a system that ensures our country's food security. This is great news for dairy farmers like the Patenaude family and their 450 Holstein cows at the Gillette farm in Embrun, as well as thousands of other dairy and poultry farmers in my riding and across Canada.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Supports removing barriers to develop the energy sector.
Speaker, the one Canadian economy act will remove federal barriers to internal trade and labour mobility, in addition to advancing essential projects of national interest to stimulate the growth of domestic productivity, develop our energy sector and keep this country safe. Can the Minister of Industry tell the House about this bill, which was introduced last week?Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
Calls for reducing middle-class taxes and cutting GST on homes for first-time buyers.
That is why the government is responding by reducing middle-class taxes, which would save two-income families up to $840 a year. It would cut the GST on homes sold at or under $1 million, for first-time homebuyers, delivering savings of up to $50,000.Source of that line
Foreign affairs
Assertive alliances and sanctions
The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint
Supports NATO spending targets and standing with allies against foreign tariffs.
Speaker, this week, the Prime Minister announced that Canada's new government is rebuilding, rearming and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces, and with the increase in defence investment, Canada will achieve NATO's 2% target. Canada will lead with values the world respects, the resources the world wants and an economy that leads the G7.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Supports protecting and expanding public programs such as pharmacare and the dental care plan.
The government will also protect the programs that are already saving families thousands of dollars every year, such as child care and pharmacare. In addition to these programs, the government has recently expanded the Canadian dental care plan to cover about eight million Canadians, saving the average person more than $800 per year.Source of that line
Trade
Deeper continental integration
The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner
Repeats commitment to close economic ties with the United States and keeping supply management off the table in US negotiations.
The Prime Minister has been clear that supply management is off the table in any future negotiations with the United States. In fact, it is such a high priority for me that my first act of business as a member of Parliament, after my swearing-in last Friday, was to visit a dairy farm and meet with all the farmers who supported me in Prescott—Russell—Cumberland, along with our Minister of Agriculture, Minister Heath MacDonald.Source of that line
