In their own words
350 Hansard interventions on file. These are the words said in the House, not a summary. Private conversations are not collected and are not invented.
Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Saint-Boniface—Saint-Vital for her commitment to indigenous issues. I know she spent the summer conducting consultations, including in Quebec. I would like my colleague to tell us how this initiative is being received and ho…Government Orders — Commissioner for Modern Treaty Implementation Act · 2026-09-21
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 11 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
Excerpts repeat support for protecting supply management and concrete government steps to support it.
While my Bloc Québécois colleagues say that supply management is not being adequately protected, our government has taken concrete steps to support it, and I am sure my colleague can speak to that. Although the Conservatives cut funding for agricultural science, the Liberal government has reinvested and has rehired scientists to support innovation and growth.Source of that line
Climate
Faster fossil phase-down
The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first
States climate change is a major cause of food inflation and backs government measures to build farmer resilience.
Speaker, one of the major causes of food inflation is climate change. My colleagues across the way seem unwilling to admit that. Climate change is having an incredibly significant impact on agriculture. I am anxious for my colleagues across the House to recognize that and to support our efforts to help farmers become increasingly resilient.Source of that line
Defence
Higher spending and more capability
The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments
Highlights positive budget investments in the defence sector as part of economic resilience.
I want to talk about investments that are important for our businesses, such as issuing government contracts, developing new markets, launching major projects and investing in the defence sector. For individuals, we have announced income tax cuts.Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Emphasizes Quebec's right to run its own carbon pricing system and division of powers within the federation.
Quebec exercised its right to manage climate policy under its jurisdiction, and our government fully accepted and supported Quebeckers' choice. To now suggest that Quebec should be compensated for a program that it did not participate in undermines the very autonomy that the Bloc Québécois is trying to protect.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
Excerpts repeat praise for tax cuts for millions of Canadians and middle-class relief.
Our government's first act was to cut taxes for millions of middle-class Canadians. We are committed to maintaining social programs, such as the Canadian dental care plan, which has been fully rolled out.Source of that line
Foreign affairs
Assertive alliances and sanctions
The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint
Excerpts note meeting NATO commitments ahead of schedule and record CAF enrolments.
As my colleague pointed out, the Government of Canada is making historic investments in the Canadian Armed Forces and is meeting its NATO commitments ahead of schedule, contrary to what my colleague from Saint‑Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton was saying.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Proudly cites rollout of Canadian dental care plan and its high enrollment as a key government achievement.
Indeed, it has significant impacts on public health in the long term. From a long-term economic perspective, the health care costs will be lower for the government because people's health, including their dental health, is being maintained. In a riding like mine, it can be hard to reach certain populations.Source of that line
Housing
Market supply and deregulation
The other end of this axis: Public supply and demand controls
Supports build Canada homes initiative, cutting red tape, and GST relief for first-time buyers on new homes.
We are also talking about access to housing and home ownership. We need to build. The “build Canada homes” initiative is an ambitious plan to accelerate construction. We will cut red tape and leverage our resources, our businesses and our expertise. We are committed to sound fiscal management, because making life more affordable must never come at the expense of intergenerational fairness.Source of that line
Immigration
Lower intake
The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake
Excerpts state the government is getting temporary immigration back under control.
We are getting temporary immigration back under control. We are granting permanent residency.Source of that line
Labour
Stronger unions and standards
The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers
Supports work-sharing, EI changes, and training to keep workers and employers connected during disputes.
We have implemented work-sharing programs to keep workers and employers connected. We have also eliminated the waiting period for EI. We are also growing markets.Source of that line
Trade
Deeper continental integration
The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner
Advocates eliminating interprovincial trade barriers to create one economy out of 13 and strengthen domestic markets.
First, on the domestic front, we are working to build one Canadian economy out of 13. We are working to eliminate barriers to interprovincial trade in areas that fall under federal jurisdiction. I am pleased to see Quebec taking concrete steps in this direction with the introduction of a bill last Friday.Source of that line
