In their own words

307 Hansard interventions on file. These are the words said in the House, not a summary. Private conversations are not collected and are not invented.

Thank you very much. Through you, Chair, I'd like to redirect the conversation to housing, which is what we're here to talk about. Also, it's wonderful being a new member at OGGO. I remember substituting here a couple of times during one of our previous sessions. I'd like to s…Debate · 2026-09-22

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

Climate

Faster fossil phase-down

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

Excerpts repeat support for climate-resilient infrastructure and green projects.

HICC, with its proposal of investments, wants to support affordable housing and a modern climate-resilient infrastructure that is also resilient to extreme weather events. It wants better transit and federally owned bridges under this portfolio, effective and reliable water and waste-water facilities, and important community spaces, all the infrastructure that we are longing for.

Defence

Higher spending and more capability

The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments

Excerpts support moving Coast Guard into DND and increased funding for National Defence.

Being part of the Department of National Defence comes with those extra measures, that extra authority and those extra bodies. It is why we are putting so much money into our Department of National Defence. Those different services and resources are all part of the package our Minister of National Defence has outlined throughout the summer.

Energy

Restrict new oil and gas

The other end of this axis: Expand production and export

Excerpts back clean electricity tax credits and wind projects.

The second measure is the clean electricity investment tax credit. This 15% refundable tax credit would help businesses invest in renewable energy and energy-efficient upgrades. In communities like mine, where the economy is closely tied to the ocean, clean energy investments are not just good for the environment, but reduce operating costs and create new opportunities for trades.

Federalism

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Excerpt states it is not about Ottawa telling provinces how to regulate skilled trades.

Importantly, this is not about Ottawa telling provinces how to regulate their skilled trades. It is about governments working together. It is about provinces and territories, industries, unions, apprenticeship organizations, indigenous partners, employers and training institutions sitting at that same table and asking one very practical question: “How do we make it easier for Canadians to work?” That question matters enormously in a country as large and diverse as Canada.

Health

Expand public coverage

The other end of this axis: More private delivery

Excerpts back dental care, pharmacare and other public coverage expansions.

They voted down dental care and they also voted down pharmacare. As one of the final speakers today, I would love for you to help us talk about the future and what you see that we can do to look towards the future within this new government.

Housing

Public supply and demand controls

The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation

Excerpts repeat strong backing for CMHC, non-profit housing and public funds.

Our plans are incentivizing the purpose-built rentals. There are also our public lands and public housing. We are focusing on affordable non-profit housing, where there are stronger protections against speculation. I really hope my colleague takes note of all of the different programs that I just listed, and supports and works with us so that everybody can have a place to call home.

Immigration

Higher permanent intake

The other end of this axis: Lower intake

Excerpts repeat positive view of newcomers helping rural communities and call for more rural immigration.

Rural immigration is not simply about population growth. It is about community survival, in some cases. It is about economic sustainability, and it is about ensuring that families can continue to build their futures in every region of this country from coast to coast to coast. In my own region of South Shore—St.

Labour

Stronger unions and standards

The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers

Excerpts back banning replacement workers and improving labour rights.

Speaker, last year, our government took action. Yes, we took action to strengthen workers' rights by introducing legislation to ban replacement workers during strikes and lockouts. Can the Minister of Jobs and Families update the House on this important step for workers and collective bargaining?

Public safety

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpt supports mandatory minimum penalties and Protecting Victims Act provisions.

The bill would restore mandatory minimum penalties for child sexual offences while adding a safety-valve clause to ensure constitutional fairness. This would respond to years of legal uncertainty that weakens deterrence and accountability for the most serious crimes committed against children.

Trade

Deeper continental integration

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

Excerpts endorse cross-border skills recognition and work with US partners.

Speaker, as this government focuses on nation-building projects that will connect our country, trade workers will be in high demand. They need to be able to move freely and have their skills recognized across provinces and territories if we are going to deliver on building a stronger, more inclusive economy.
