In their own words
3,118 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 want to talk about a local success story that is crossing borders and making us very proud. Vague de Cirque is a company based in Val‑David that has been imagining and creating shows for 15 years now. Its show Là haut premiered in my riding at the Sentier des cime…Statements by Members — Vague de Cirque · 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 9 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
The excerpts repeat a defence of supply management.
We are working for agriculture, particularly through my esteemed colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé's sustained defence of supply management. We are striving to protect the environment by frequently speaking in favour of climate accountability and ending federal subsidies for fossil fuels.Source of that line
Climate
Faster fossil phase-down
The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first
The excerpts repeat calls to end fossil fuel subsidies and reduce oil production by 2030.
We are striving to protect the environment by frequently speaking in favour of climate accountability and ending federal subsidies for fossil fuels. This cause is being championed by the all-female duo of the members for Repentigny and Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia.Source of that line
Defence
Restrain spending and deployments
The other end of this axis: Higher spending and more capability
The member questions the realism of large spending increases given existing shortfalls.
That's all well and good, but we heard earlier that there's a shortage of pilots and technicians. National Defence is unable to spend its money at this point. Are we on the right track? Is that pledge to increase Canada's military spending to 5% of its GDP realistic?Source of that line
Energy
Restrict new oil and gas
The other end of this axis: Expand production and export
The excerpts repeat calls to stop subsidies and reduce crude oil production by 2030.
We have invited the government to implement a real energy transition and to stop subsidizing the Canadian oil and gas industry. We have to change Canada's energy trajectory to help keep the increase in temperature below 1.Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Opposes Ottawa frameworks in provincial jurisdictions like education and employment insurance.
Creating this kind of plan merely extends Ottawa's reach into areas outside its jurisdiction. Education is a provincial responsibility.Source of that line
Foreign affairs
Alliance restraint
The other end of this axis: Assertive alliances and sanctions
Focuses on domestic inquiry into interference rather than assertive external measures.
For weeks now, the opposition parties have been calling for an independent public commission of inquiry into foreign interference in our democratic process.Source of that line
Immigration
Lower intake
The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake
Criticizes federal mismanagement and calls for Quebec to choose workers.
The minister snuffed out that hope in an interview with Le Devoir. He is saying no to requiring French for temporary workers. He is saying no to letting Quebec choose which workers are admitted with the international mobility program and no to fast-tracking asylum seekers.Source of that line
Labour
Stronger unions and standards
The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers
The excerpts support expanded EI benefits for workers.
I am sure that members of the House will agree to quickly increase the number of weeks of benefits from 15 to 50. As I was saying earlier, I hope that we will be able to improve the employment insurance program during this Parliament.Source of that line
Public safety
Prevention and restraint
The other end of this axis: Enforcement and sentencing
The excerpts emphasize prevention over minimum sentencing.
My concern is this: What ever happened to a change that would target basic prevention needs to avoid minimum sentencing? I would like to hear my colleague's comments on that.Source of that line
