      Faster fossil phase-down

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

      Excerpts repeat calls for serious action on climate change, ocean protection and conservation targets.

      I am ready to get to work with our Prime Minister and this government to take serious action on climate change, investing in infrastructure and jobs, implementing a universal pharmacare plan, advancing reconciliation for indigenous people and making life more affordable for Canadians.

      Energy

      Expand production and export

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

      Excerpts thank oil and gas sector for heating homes and note its role in the economy.

      To those in the oil and gas and mining sectors, I thank them for making sure we have oil to heat our homes, gas to put in our vehicles and minerals as the raw materials for so much of our manufacturing.

      Fiscal policy

      Higher taxes and public spending

      The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending

      Excerpts repeatedly highlight and endorse government investments in infrastructure and programs.

      Housing

      Public supply and demand controls

      The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation

      Excerpt endorses rapid housing initiative for vulnerable Canadians.

      About a month ago, our government announced the rapid housing initiative. That's a program of $1 billion to help address urgent housing needs for vulnerable Canadians. Given your expertise with vulnerable populations, I'm wondering if you can speak to the importance of a housing initiative like this and how it will address mental health needs for Canadians, especially on our path to a COVID-19 recovery.

      Immigration

      Higher permanent intake

      The other end of this axis: Lower intake

      Excerpt thanks airport for welcoming newcomers and notes its role in economic development.

      The Sydney airport is a critical piece of infrastructure that keeps my constituents connected to larger travel centres, supports businesses and economic development, and has welcomed thousands of newcomers to Cape Breton and northeastern Nova Scotia. I want to acknowledge the hard work of airport CEO Mike MacKinnon, the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, the Cape Breton Partnership, the Cape Breton Regional Chamber of Commerce and, of course, my constituents in Cape Breton—Canso and those in Sydney—Victoria for their tireless efforts and advocacy.

      Labour

      Stronger unions and standards

      The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers

      Excerpts endorse wage top-ups and better pay for health care workers.

      I want to touch upon a particular theme in this discussion and in the first two rounds of questioning around wages and providing better wages for those who are working in long-term health care. I have some experience in working in long-term health care, having been in charge of training and development for the Nova Scotia Community College.

      Public safety

      Enforcement and sentencing

      The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

      Excerpts endorse firearms ban after incident and discuss its benefits for victims.

      Matthews, at the height of the first wave of this pandemic and after a tragic incident in my home province of Nova Scotia, our government implemented a firearms ban. I'm wondering if you could speak to how this ban will benefit those you work with. I'm thinking of the use of guns to coerce and whatnot.
