    In their own words

    2,338 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, Canadians have heard a clear message from investors. They are ready to invest in Canada. Last week's investment summit generated nearly $500 billion in investment commitments. Now we need to turn those commitments into projects, jobs and economic growth. Could the M…Oral Questions — The Economy · 2026-09-22

    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 6 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

    Slower phase-down, production first

    The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down

    Repeatedly criticizes carbon taxes as job-killing and harmful to families and energy sector.

    These carbon taxes would increase food prices, increase the price of heating homes, and make it more expensive to fill up at the gas pumps. This carbon tax would hit small businesses, the businesses and the very entrepreneurial spirit that Albertans are known for.

    Energy

    Expand production and export

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

    Repeatedly calls for building pipelines and defending the energy industry against policies that restrict it.

    We need to build the pipelines to get our oil to market because that is what drives our economy. That is what drives the Alberta economy.

    Federalism

    Provinces lead

    The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

    Criticizes federal policies for harming Alberta and calls for recognition of provincial realities.

    However, that is not understanding Edmonton; that is not understanding Alberta, and that certainly is not understanding the energy sector. Edmonton and the Edmonton area have an immense impact on the energy sector in our province.

    Fiscal policy

    Lower taxes and tighter spending

    The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending

    Repeatedly opposes deficits, carbon taxes, and new spending that burdens families and businesses.

    I would ask, beg, and plead with hon. members on the other side to please consider not running a deficit for our kids, their kids, our grandkids, and for future generations. It is important for them and it is important for all of us in this chamber.

    Public safety

    Enforcement and sentencing

    The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

    Excerpts call for stronger enforcement and criticize catch-and-release policies.

    This is why organizations across the country are calling for bail reforms to keep violent offenders behind bars. After eight years of the Liberals' catch-and-release crime policies, Canadians do not feel safe walking down the street or taking transit.

    Trade

    Deeper continental integration

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

    Excerpt supports modernized Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement and deeper trade ties.

    In addition, with respect to this agreement in particular, this modernization of the agreement would build on the 2017 agreement which updated or added 11 new chapters to the free trade agreement. The updated chapters include rules of origin and procedures, government procurement, competition policy, monopoly and state enterprises, electronic commerce, digital trade, labour, the environment, transparency, anti-corruption and responsible business conduct.
