Faster fossil phase-down

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

Repeatedly advocates for urgent climate action, carbon pricing, and eliminating fossil fuel subsidies.

I've had a panel discussion in my riding. I've asked the panellists, who are experts in the industry—professors and lawyers who work a lot in this area—if we can move faster in eliminating fossil fuel subsidies, and they have said, yes, we can. In particular, we can move faster on fossil fuel subsidies, whether tax or non-tax subsidies, that go directly to supporting increased greenhouse gas emissions.

Ottawa leads

The other end of this axis: Provinces lead

Supports pan-Canadian framework led by federal government in collaboration with provinces on climate.

Here is what the Prime Minister's press release stated after the first ministers' meeting was over: Building on commitments and actions already taken by provinces and territories and the momentum from COP21 in Paris, we are moving toward a pan-Canadian framework for clean growth and climate change that will meet or exceed Canada's international emissions targets, and will transition our country to a stronger, more resilient, low-carbon economy—while also improving our quality of life.

Tighter prudential rules

Highlights importance of strong banking system and calls for banks to provide more flexibility and support during crisis.

Expand public coverage

The other end of this axis: More private delivery

Can the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship please update the House on what he is doing to accelerate bringing families together here in Canada?

Stronger unions and standards

The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers

Supports strong labour movement and repealing laws seen as anti-union.

Speaker, we very much believe that for Canada to have a strong middle class and a strong economy, we need to have a strong labour movement. We believe that unions play an important role in protecting the rights of Canadian workers and helping unionized workers to access benefits and pensions in addition to what I have just mentioned, helping the middle class grow and prosper.
