In their own words
2,644 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 are hearing comments about the amendments to the Canada Labour Code, primarily with respect to section 107. Can my colleague share her thoughts on this section? What does she think about it?Government Orders — Building Canada Strong Act · 2026-09-24
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 6 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
Supports political action to reduce emissions and environmental leadership.
It is also irresponsible to muzzle scientists calling for political action to reduce GHG emissions. The throne speech conveyed our commitment to consulting civil and scientific communities in the coming years.Source of that line
Energy
Restrict new oil and gas
The other end of this axis: Expand production and export
Supports electric transit, green energy, and carbon pricing to cut emissions; repeats this stance.
Carbon pricing will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, spur innovation, and help Canada become more competitive. In my riding, there is a company that manufactures self-sustaining street lamps powered by wind and solar energy.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Higher taxes and public spending
The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending
Backs infrastructure spending, middle-class tax cuts funded by higher rates on wealthy, and child benefit; repeats this approach.
One of the first things we did as a government was implement a tax cut for the middle class and increase the tax rate by 1% for wealthier Canadians. Those changes are putting more money in the pockets of middle-class Canadians by making taxes fairer for everyone.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
supports Canadian dental care plan and other public programs
If there is one measure that perfectly illustrates the philosophy behind this budget, it is the Canadian dental care plan. This program is transforming the lives of thousands of families across the country, including in my riding of Rivière‑des‑Mille‑Îles.Source of that line
Housing
Public supply and demand controls
The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation
endorses national housing strategy with federal funding and partnerships
For example, our commitment to spend more than $11 billion on new investments in housing was the largest item in the 2017 budget. Access to safe and affordable housing is a key issue in practically every riding in the country, including Carleton and, of course, mine, Rivière-des-Mille-Îles.Source of that line
Trade
Diversify away from one partner
The other end of this axis: Deeper continental integration
backs CETA, CPTPP and updated NAFTA to access multiple markets
The agreements that we signed include CETA and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. However, the agreement with the United States and Mexico is very important.Source of that line
