Our sources do not list any previous employment for this member.

    In their own words

    1,177 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, it is a bit discouraging to be having this debate now in the House of Commons. Why? It is because we already passed a similar bill barely 18 months ago. The Conservatives voted in favour of it because the Prime Minister said that those projects would be fast-tracked…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 5 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

    Criticizes carbon tax repeatedly and favors technology over higher carbon prices.

    Madam Speaker, the Conservatives think there is a better way to reduce climate change than tripling the price on carbon. As the member said, that better way is technology. Here is a little example.

    Defence

    Higher spending and more capability

    The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments

    Highlights military history and criticizes Liberal failure to take military seriously or provide aid.

    It was a previous member of Parliament with the Liberal Party, former lieutenant-general Andrew Leslie, who said recently that the Liberal government does not take the military seriously. This impacts what we can do and provide for Ukrainians and is having a direct effect.

    Energy

    Expand production and export

    The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas

    Defends LNG and oil and gas sector against Liberal phase-out plans, repeated across excerpts.

    Canada has the third-highest proven reserves of oil and gas in the entire world, yet the Liberals want to phase it out. Ten per cent of our economy is based upon this, providing hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue and hundreds of thousands of jobs, yet this is to be phased out because it is not appropriate.

    Federalism

    Provinces lead

    The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

    States belief in provincial jurisdictions and respect for Constitution.

    I truly believe in every province's jurisdictions. It is very important. There are jurisdictions on the provincial side of things that also are a responsibility for Canada.

    Foreign affairs

    Assertive alliances and sanctions

    The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

    Calls for Magnitsky sanctions on China and military aid to Ukraine.

    The petitioners call for the imposition of Magnitsky sanctions on those responsible for these terrible crimes against the Uighur people and to formally recognize that Uighurs in China are being subjected to genocide.
