In their own words
3,829 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, since this is the first time I have had the opportunity to speak to you today, I would like to take the opportunity to say hello and welcome you back to Parliament. Listening to the speech by my colleague from Fort McMurray—Cold Lake, I realize how far apart the C…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 8 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
Calls for enshrining supply management in law to prevent future concessions and thanks farmers for their sacrifices in trade deals.
Now that aluminum workers and supply managed farmers have made those sacrifices, would my colleague be willing to enshrine supply management in law so that it cannot be touched during future international trade negotiations? Also, could they perhaps stop saying that the agreement protects cast aluminum and make it clear that the agreement protects only North American aluminum parts?Source of that line
Energy
Restrict new oil and gas
The other end of this axis: Expand production and export
Criticizes pipeline purchases and oil sands involvement, calls for diversification away from oil dependence, and supports transition to renewable energy.
A little earlier, I heard our colleague from Winnipeg North call on us to be open-minded. I would like to point out to our colleague that only the Bloc Québécois has been insisting for months that we should diversify and invest in different expertise, which would make it possible for Alberta's workers to develop other skills and be able to survive without being dependent on oil. I would like my colleague from Edmonton Strathcona to comment on that.Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Repeatedly demands respect for provincial jurisdictions, full health transfers without conditions, and no federal interference in areas like health and Internet rollout.
Quebec and the provinces are asking the federal government to restore health transfers and expedite transfer payments for high-speed Internet. That would be a good way of working together and recognizing that Quebec and the provinces are in charge of these particular sectors. Perhaps that would speed up the process and make it possible to come together in a real wartime effort where everyone collaborates and progress is made.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Higher taxes and public spending
The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending
Pushes for taxing web giants and GAFA to fund content creators, media, and artists, viewing it as essential revenue and fairness.
Taxing the GAFA group would bring in over $781 million. Charging GAFA royalties for content creators, which generate billions of dollars, would bring in $540 million. These two amounts combined total $1.Source of that line
Foreign affairs
Assertive alliances and sanctions
The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint
Backs Magnitsky sanctions and strong aid to Ukraine.
You've argued in favour of applying Magnitsky's Law to all countries where state officials violate the rights of their own citizens. To date, have political, geopolitical or commercial considerations influenced Canada's application of this type of sanctions? Do you have any examples or explanations to give us on this subject?Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Demands larger unconditional health transfers to provinces.
Madam Speaker, following the NDP-Liberal agreement and alliance and the announcements made about pharmacare and dental care, there is something missing in the budget, namely a recurrent and unconditional increase in health transfers.Source of that line
Immigration
Lower intake
The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake
Calls for reviewing targets based on integration capacity including housing and services.
The motion reads as follows: That the House call on the government to review its immigration targets starting in 2024, after consultation with Quebec, the provinces and territories, based on their integration capacity, particularly in terms of housing, health care, education, French language training and transportation infrastructure, all with a view to successful immigration.Source of that line
Public safety
Prevention and restraint
The other end of this axis: Enforcement and sentencing
Argues harsher sentences do not reduce crime and favors rehabilitation.
We know that harsher sentences do not result in fewer crimes being committed. Prisons are overcrowded, and people from racialized or indigenous communities are overrepresented in our prison system.Source of that line
