      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 5 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

      Criticizes carbon pricing, ESG requirements and impact assessments as barriers that prevent building and industrializing.

      The Liberals want carbon pricing. The Liberals want environmental, social and governance, ESG, reporting requirements on everything. The Liberals want impact assessments over and over again, barriers upon barriers. The Liberals do not want us to build.

      Energy

      Expand production and export

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

      Calls for streamlined regulations to launch massive energy projects and retain capital.

      We need incentivizing structures to make it easier to launch massive projects in Canada around energy, infrastructure and manufacturing. These projects would give our economic actors reasons to keep their capital within our borders.

      Fiscal policy

      Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

      Promises budgets that cut spending, taxes and inflation while criticizing Liberal deficits.

      Two, we will bring down the cost of living with a budget that cuts spending, taxes and inflation. I had the pleasure of reading the Prime Minister's mandate letter before hearing the throne speech last week.

      Immigration

      Lower intake

      The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

      Excerpts criticize high numbers of temporary residents and call for fixing the broken immigration system.

      Nonetheless, we are in a situation where our economy has been flooded with at least an extra million foreigners in any given year. The rapid growth of temporary residents overall in 2022 and 2023 contributed to Canada having the highest annual population growth rate since 1957.

      Public safety

      Enforcement and sentencing

      The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

      Excerpts repeat calls for mandatory minimum sentences and against catch-and-release bail policies.

      We need mandatory minimum sentences, not bail, when the issue is about fentanyl. How can a borders bill request warrantless access to Internet subscriber information and not also have strong measures against the fentanyl problem? An expansive definition of a strong border requires a holistic tackling of the fentanyl supply chain.
