In their own words
4,950 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, the Liberals are big on talk and short on results. They are trying to convince us otherwise, but Canadians are struggling under the weight of rising rents, transportation costs, and grocery prices.

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
Excerpts repeat the call to protect supply management and never use it as a bargaining chip.
Supply management must be protected, and our leader has committed to never use supply management as a bargaining chip in future negotiations. Enough is enough.Source of that line
Climate
Slower phase-down, production first
The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down
criticizes carbon tax imposition and supports meeting targets through responsible actions like past Conservative policies
Yesterday, the Prime Minister said that he would impose, and I repeat “impose”, a carbon tax on the provinces and territories. The word “impose” escaped the lips of this Liberal Prime Minister.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
defends oil and gas industry jobs and criticizes opposition to the sector
How can the chief of staff remain accountable and impartial on files related to the oil industry after her numerous attacks on this industry? Is this government trying to send all workers in the energy sector to the unemployment line?Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
argues provinces should implement measures and criticizes federal imposition on provincial jurisdiction
We believe that every province should be responsible for implementing the measures necessary to meet the targets. This falls under their jurisdiction. Quebec did its homework.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
repeatedly criticizes high deficits and broken promises on modest deficits and tax cuts

Foreign affairs
Alliance restraint
The other end of this axis: Assertive alliances and sanctions
questions NATO rearmament and boosting military budgets
” Does the minister agree that the Russian threat to Ukraine is just a pretext for boosting NATO military budgets?Source of that line
Immigration
Higher permanent intake
The other end of this axis: Lower intake
Excerpts support bringing in foreign workers to address labor shortages and increasing francophone immigration.
” Why not kill two birds with one stone and welcome foreign francophone workers to solve the labour shortage problem and increase the number of French-speaking citizens? I am therefore asking the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to establish more effective administrative measures to immediately address the labour shortage and at the same time increase the presence of French speakers in Canada.Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Excerpts criticize soft-on-crime policies and call for stronger enforcement.
When will the Liberals stop their soft-on-crime policies? When will they protect victims?Source of that line
Trade
Deeper continental integration
The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner
supports agreement with main partner the United States on softwood lumber
When will the government sign a new agreement with our main partner, the United States?Source of that line
