Slower phase-down, production first

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

Excerpts repeat criticism of carbon tax as a tax plan not environmental plan and advocate technology not taxes.

The carbon tax is not an environmental plan. The carbon tax is a tax plan. We have advocated for, and I am very proud to say this because the riding I represent, Durham, is home to a fantastic nuclear energy facility, is technology and not taxes to respond to environmental concerns across this country. The idea that the carbon tax is somehow going to address the hon.

Expand production and export

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

Excerpts defend nuclear energy for jobs and growth in Durham.

Durham is home to the Darlington nuclear facility. We are home to members of the Power Workers' Union and UA Local 401, the hard-working men and women who put their time and energy into powering our region and powering our province. To sit here and listen to the Bloc Québécois and their buddies in the other parties spread anti-nuclear messaging is mind-blowing.

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Excerpts repeat preference for working with provinces over Ottawa bureaucracy and against federal overreach.

What I worry about, and I think what my fellow cancer patients at North York General Hospital would worry as well, including cancer patients all across the country, is whether this is a matter of creating more bureaucracy in Ottawa or whether we are actually concerned about providing people with what they need at an affordable price.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

Excerpts repeat opposition to big deficits and high-tax budgets.

My optimism does not come from these big deficits or big budget announcements. My optimism comes from my knowledge of the people of Canada and the people of Durham.

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Excerpts support listing terrorist organizations and condemning anti-alliance protests.

To make matters worse, the NDP-Liberals are allowing a terrorist organization to operate freely within our borders, refusing to list Samidoun as a terrorist organization under the Anti-terrorism Act. Israel and Germany have already listed Samidoun as a terrorist organization.

Market supply and deregulation

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

Excerpts criticize federal housing strategy failure and call for lower costs.

While the housing minister is sitting in Ottawa saying that his national housing strategy has exceeded its objectives, in my home community of Durham, the Clarington Municipal Council voted unanimously, calling for urgent action from the federal government and homelessness. In my home community of Durham, just like in many others across this country, there is a growing crisis of people without homes.

Lower intake

The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

Excerpts repeat that immigration levels are too high and population growth harms quality of life.

Immigration levels are too high. We are now approaching an average of 1.5 million people coming into the country per year. The reason we know that is too high is because population growth is now outpacing the job market. It is outpacing the housing market.

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpts criticize bail policies for enabling repeat offenders.

In fact, with these cases in mind, I would like to know if the justice minister is willing to humbly acknowledge that Liberal bail policies are enabling repeat offenders to commit more crimes.

Deeper continental integration

The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner

Excerpts call for deal eliminating US tariffs on auto.

Will the Prime Minister bring home a deal for Canadian auto that eliminates U.S. tariffs?
