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.
Agriculture
Defend supply management
The other end of this axis: Liberalize supply management
explicitly supports supply management and local farmers
Madam Speaker, the government really does support supply management. I will add a little personal story as well.Source of that line
Climate
Faster fossil phase-down
The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first
repeated statements calling for urgent climate action, emissions cuts and carbon pricing
Climate change is a crisis that affects not just our environment, but also our economy and our industries. We have been taking measures to solve these problems.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
supports Trans Mountain pipeline alongside environment
With respect to the Trans Mountain pipeline, there have been major consultations. It is a belief of mine and of our government that we must work in collaboration with all communities. We must follow our procedures of law and ensure that our environment and our economy go hand in hand as we continue to progress and hopefully implement a long-term plan for sustainable green technology.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Higher taxes and public spending
The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending
supports budget investments in youth employment and programs
To help young Canadians succeed, budget 2017 proposes a number of measures that will help create good, well-paying jobs and support young Canadians as they transition into the workforce. Canadian youth have the talent and the drive to succeed in the labour market.Source of that line
Housing
Public supply and demand controls
The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation
supports national housing strategy with large public investments
From day one, our government has made housing a clear priority. We launched Canada's first national housing strategy and invested more than $72 billion over 10 years, starting in 2017, to ensure Canadians have a safe and affordable place to call home.Source of that line
Immigration
Higher permanent intake
The other end of this axis: Lower intake
supports refugees, family reunification and immigrant labour growth
Studies show that immigrants are the biggest contributors to labour market growth in Canada, so it makes sense, then, that providing support to the largest contributor to our labour market growth be a government priority in this economy. In the Speech from the Throne, the government mandate—to make it easier for immigrants to build successful lives in Canada, reunite their families, and contribute to the economic success of all Canadians—will really help the people of Mississauga—Erin Mills.Source of that line
Labour
Stronger unions and standards
The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers
supports pay equity and worker protections in federally regulated sectors
Through budget 2018, we are addressing the gender wage gap by announcing that we will introduce historic proactive pay equity legislation in the federally regulated sector, which would apply to about 1.Source of that line
Public safety
Prevention and restraint
The other end of this axis: Enforcement and sentencing
supports reforms to reduce mandatory minimum penalties and over-incarceration
Canada is not alone in recognizing the increased and indiscriminate use of mandatory minimum penalties, or MMPs, has proven to be a costly and ineffective approach to reducing crime. Indeed, many jurisdictions around the world are moving away from this approach to the criminal justice system.Source of that line
