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.
Climate
Faster fossil phase-down
The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first
Excerpts repeat support for fighting climate change, net-zero emissions, carbon pricing and emissions reductions via projects like high-speed rail.
Speaker, yes, nature is important and that means we have to fight climate change. That is why we cannot eliminate every tax on carbon. It has been demonstrated that the climate has the greatest impact on consumer price increases.Source of that line
Defence
Higher spending and more capability
The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments
Excerpt praises the industrial defence strategy as working and attracting investment.
The industrial defence strategy is working and the automotive strategy is producing results. These things do not happen overnight, but we are making progress and Canadians have faith in us.Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Excerpts repeat that Canada cannot impose on provinces and must work with them without encroaching.
Generally speaking, we cannot impose nature conservation on the provinces. The provinces are responsible for 76% of the territory. They have responsibilities recognized by the Constitution.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Higher taxes and public spending
The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending
Excerpts repeat that the budget is an investment in people, jobs and purchasing power through social programs.
This budget is an investment in our young people and in our resources so that we are able to get through the current crisis. Canadians elected us to do that.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Excerpts cite support for dental care, pharmacare and school food program to restore purchasing power.
We are doing that in so many different ways, such as by supporting families, the school food program, dental care and pharmacare. These are all ways we are giving purchasing power back to Canadians.Source of that line
Housing
Public supply and demand controls
The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation
Excerpts back Build Canada Homes and federal funding for housing units.
The federal government has proposed an investment of $1 billion in transitional and supportive housing through Build Canada Homes. These are all concrete measures.Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Excerpts repeat calls for removing assault-style firearms and stronger enforcement measures.
This is not about going after hunters or farmers. It is about firearms that are meant to kill. We made a promise and we will keep it. It will get done.Source of that line
Trade
Diversify away from one partner
The other end of this axis: Deeper continental integration
Excerpt notes pivoting exports away from the US to Europe.
We have succeeded in redirecting exports that used to go to the United States towards European countries, and the same is true for Quebec.Source of that line
