In their own words
2,661 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, I am very proud to be able to rise in the House, on our side of the House, to represent members, including about 50 from Quebec, who rise time and time again to vote for culture in Quebec and Canada, with historic investments that no other government has ever made in…Oral Questions — Canadian Identity and Culture · 2026-09-23
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 4 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 low carbon emission green economy.
We are delivering on our commitment by investing more than $180 billion in over 12 years to create long-term growth jobs for the middle class, create a low-carbon economy, a green economy, and improve social inclusion.Source of that line
Defence
Higher spending and more capability
The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments
Defends investments in armed forces and NATO targets against deficit criticism.
Which is it? Is it more money into the defence industry that does not come from the government? That does not make sense, because Canadians expect us to invest in our defence. People pay taxes just so we can invest in our armed forces, which we are going to do. The Conservatives have spent weeks complaining about a deficit the vast majority of which is invested in our armed forces and to hit our NATO targets, which they have been asking us to do for 10 years.Source of that line
Immigration
Lower intake
The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake
Supports reducing permanent resident targets to pause population growth and return to pre-pandemic levels.
That's why we're adjusting our permanent resident targets to 395,000 in 2025, a decrease of 105,000, and then to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027. This levels plan builds on recently announced reforms.Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Supports action to combat Daesh and genocide.
Having identified these heinous crimes, we have an obligation as human beings, acting according to the dictates of our conscience, and as a nation that is party to the genocide convention, to act.Source of that line
