In their own words
3,843 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 hon. member from Skeena—Bulkley Valley made a number of great points this morning. I was talking with a staffer. They had a five-year mortgage term ending at 1.92%, but unfortunately, five years later, now it is over 4%, so we are talking affordability.

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.
Climate
Slower phase-down, production first
The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down
Excerpts repeat opposition to carbon tax now, calling for delay to protect jobs and production.
Carbon pricing and a carbon tax has to be delayed in this country. I stand firmly by that thought. There may be a time, but now is not the time. We do not need a carbon tax right now and put it into EI.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Excerpts call for pipelines to move product and criticize delays hurting oil and gas sector.
When will the government, for example, support the oil and gas sector? Pipelines are needed to move product safety, yet we constantly see delays, every day in this House. This is costing us jobs.Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Highlights premiers and provinces opposing federal carbon tax and seeking carve-outs.
The premier of Saskatchewan, Scott Moe, led six other provincial premiers who were opposed to the government's carbon tax increase. Even in the legislature of Saskatchewan, the opposition NDP agreed with the Sask Party on the carbon tax.Source of that line
Financial regulation
Lighter capital rules and more competition
The other end of this axis: Tighter prudential rules
Excerpts oppose increasing regulatory burden on mining projects.
Removing the timelines put in by the former Conservative government would damage proponent and industry confidence in the regulatory regime and cause companies to take their investments elsewhere. It is already happening in this country.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
Excerpts oppose higher taxes including carbon tax and criticize large deficits and new spending.
With this plan of more taxes for higher income earners, we are discouraging success and are actually punishing those who are high achievers in this country. Saskatoon will be the home of a much-needed children's hospital.Source of that line
Immigration
Higher permanent intake
The other end of this axis: Lower intake
Excerpts state the riding has welcomed immigrants and refugees with open arms.
Our riding has welcomed immigrants, along with refugees, with open arms. Our neighbourhoods have certainly changed over the years.Source of that line
Labour
More flexibility for employers
The other end of this axis: Stronger unions and standards
Excerpts support secret ballot and criticize unions for lack of transparency on dues.
I think Canadians want a choice. They want the secret ballot. They also want to know that unions do not have a blank cheque. Canadians want to know where their union dues are going.Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Excerpts support bills requiring criminal history in bail hearings and stronger enforcement.
Bill S-217 would require criminal history to be considered during a bail hearing. The bill would address a glaring oversight with two simple common-sense changes to the Criminal Code.Source of that line
Trade
Deeper continental integration
The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner
Excerpts support multiple trade agreements and expanding trade opportunities.
Canada needs to be a part of this trade agreement. As members know, it takes two-thirds of the WTO membership to make this happen.Source of that line
