Government roles

In their own words

367 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 would like to first thank the Leader of the Opposition for this opportunity. On behalf of the Government of Canada and, I believe, all members of the House, I want to begin by expressing our deepest condolences to the family, loved ones and colleagues of Ms. Ben S…Oral Questions — Condolences · 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 10 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

Repeatedly states commitment to protecting supply management and keeping it off the table in trade talks.

Supply management will never be on the table in negotiations with the Americans. We will protect supply management. There will be a direct response.

Climate

Faster fossil phase-down

The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first

Defends industrial carbon tax and states net zero by 2050 along with methane reductions.

It is an industrial price on carbon that goes to $130 effective. It is reductions in methane. It is net zero by 2050. It is building Alberta strong and Canada strong, durable, sustainable and—

Defence

Higher spending and more capability

The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments

States the largest increase in military expenditure in decades and doubled spending in cash terms while meeting NATO obligations.

Speaker, I was proud to stand yesterday with the Minister of National Defence and the chief of the defence staff to announce the largest increase in military expenditure in decades. Building our military strong, building our military with Canadian technology, Canadian jobs, Canadian steel and Canadian aluminum, is what the review of the F-35 is about.

Energy

Expand production and export

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

Calls for Canada to be an energy superpower in conventional energy and commits to building pipelines and unlocking energy.

That is why Canada needs to become an energy superpower in both clean and conventional energy. That is why we will be discussing wildfires at the G7 meeting in Alberta next month.

Federalism

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Emphasizes respecting Quebec's jurisdictions and working with premiers on shared plans.

We respect Quebec's jurisdictions.

Foreign affairs

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Stands with Ukraine, sends aid, and engages with US and allies on trade and security.

Canada stands with Ukraine and we are sending more military and humanitarian aid today. With regard to the Leader of the Opposition's question, as far as I know, the Cúram process started in 2017.

Housing

Market supply and deregulation

The other end of this axis: Public supply and demand controls

States reliance on the private sector to build homes with direct financing to developers.

I will end with this: Fundamentally, we will rely on the private sector to build affordable homes, including by supplying $25 billion in direct financing to private developers to build the housing the country needs.

Immigration

Lower intake

The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

Commits to returning immigration rates to sustainable levels and notes reductions in asylum seekers and temporary residents.

We will return our overall immigration rates to sustainable levels while attracting the best talent in the world to help build our economy. We will spend less on government operations, so Canadians can invest more to build Canada strong.

Labour

More flexibility for employers

The other end of this axis: Stronger unions and standards

Mentions investments and retraining for auto workers but no direct union or flexibility stance.

We look the Canadian auto workers in the eye. We have $5 billion in the strategic response fund. We have $10 billion for liquidity management. We have worker retraining. We are striking deals with countries around the world.

Trade

Deeper continental integration

The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner

Focuses on securing the best possible trade agreement with the United States and strengthening continental ties.

It therefore remains the top priority of Canada’s new government to establish a new economic and security relationship with the United States and to strengthen our collaboration with reliable trading partners and allies around the world. We welcome yesterday's United States Court of International Trade ruling, but there are still other unjustified tariffs and too much uncertainty.
