In their own words
4,225 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, we have been focused on lowering costs for farmers. That is exactly why we have an action plan for reducing regulatory tape with the CFIA and the pesticides regulatory directorate. I do not know if the member shared that with the farmers in his constituency. I certai…Oral Questions — Taxation · 2026-09-25
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 13 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
Repeatedly highlights the economic and cultural importance of supply-managed farms and defends the system against criticism.
I would like to thank the member opposite for bringing forward this legislation and giving me the opportunity to speak on the importance of supply management and what it means to rural communities across the country. I was a little disappointed in the member opposite's comments.Source of that line
Climate
Faster fossil phase-down
The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first
Calls for caps on oil and gas production and emissions, price on pollution, and meeting climate targets.
Our government has promised and has mentioned in the Speech from the Throne caps on the oil and gas production and the emissions associated with such, the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies and the development of EV vehicles.Source of that line
Defence
Higher spending and more capability
The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments
Explicitly backs increased defence spending to meet NATO targets and strengthen capabilities.
I believe this is a crucial moment in our country's history, and I want to reiterate my support for increased defence spending. I also want to use my time to point out other areas where I think Canada should be a world leader.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Describes Canada as an energy superpower and advocates producing conventional energy alongside transition.
This government and this Prime Minister are focused on making Canada an energy superpower, above and beyond what we already are. I highlighted some of the key statistics, and we should take great pride in them, but on this side of the House, we believe the government we can do even more, and not only on energy and critical minerals; we also recognize the moral imperative to reduce GHG emissions and continue the fight on climate change, and that Canada has a responsibility, when it comes to conventional energy and the energy transition, to do both.Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Notes shared jurisdiction and questions whether provinces are best suited for certain issues like climate.
Does she see the federal government as a key contributor in terms of the fight against climate change, or is that best suited to the provinces?Source of that line
Financial regulation
Lighter capital rules and more competition
The other end of this axis: Tighter prudential rules
Expresses concern about wealth tax leading to capital flight without international coordination.
We are in a globalized world, and I worry about a policy like this without international co-operation where we have other jurisdictions in the world following suit in an international framework. How do we prevent the movement of capital and wealth outside the country? I have not heard a whole lot from the NDP members on how we avoid something like that.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Higher taxes and public spending
The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending
Defends government investments in social programs and economic supports while criticizing underfunding by prior governments.
We know more work needs to be done, but we have invested in Canadians and, as a result, it has helped drive a stronger economy. I have spoken at length in the House about the stories I have heard directly on the doorsteps of residents of Kings—Hants of the benefits of programs like the Canada child benefit and the middle-income tax cuts and what they have meant for families and their ability to buy healthier groceries and to allow their children to participate in recreational opportunities.Source of that line
Foreign affairs
Assertive alliances and sanctions
The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint
Condemns Russia's attack on Ukraine and supports sanctions and NATO commitments.
I will join the chorus of my colleagues in the House, indeed individuals around the world, in condemning and denouncing Russia's egregious attack on Ukraine. It is unjust.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Supports federal funding and national standards for health care including long-term care.
I have heard from constituents in my riding who reached out to me to say that we need to do more on long-term care, that the federal government needs to be willing to help step up and support, and that is exactly what we announced in the fall economic statement. We have dedicated over $500 million to help support the provinces and territories in battling COVID and making sure measures are in place.Source of that line
Housing
Market supply and deregulation
The other end of this axis: Public supply and demand controls
Highlights private-sector housing booms supported by federal infrastructure investment.
There has been a housing boom in our communities. I would ask the Conservatives this: Is the investment under the Canada infrastructure program a failed policy? I would suggest it is not.Source of that line
Immigration
Higher permanent intake
The other end of this axis: Lower intake
Champions immigration to fill labour needs and grow economy in rural areas.
In order to ensure we have vibrant rural communities and a workforce that will ensure they remain viable, we need to continue to focus on bringing immigrants from around the world to Canada, who will bring their energy and talents to not only drive our economy forward but also make our communities even better places to live.Source of that line
Public safety
Prevention and restraint
The other end of this axis: Enforcement and sentencing
Supports repealing mandatory minimums and giving judges more discretion in sentencing.
This type of thinking of getting rid of mandatory minimums and letting the judiciary have the discretion on sentencing for some of these offences is the type of thinking that will resonate in the communities of Kings—Hants, particularly in the marginalized communities.Source of that line
Trade
Deeper continental integration
The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner
Emphasizes importance of CUSMA and maintaining integrated supply chains with the US.
I could go on, but simply put, whether we are discussing Kings—Hants or any other of the 337 ridings in this country, CUSMA represents a crucial trade deal with our largest partner. To those who would criticize our work on this important file, I remind them that the former interim leader of the Conservative Party has openly said that this is the best deal that could have been struck.Source of that line
