Members whose only sources are encyclopedias have no scored positions.

      Provinces lead

      The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

      States health jurisdiction is primarily provincial.

      We know that health is an area of jurisdiction that is primarily the responsibility of the provinces and territories. Can you tell us whether or not you have worked with the provincial and territorial language commissioners to ensure that their respective governments communicate as effectively as possible with Canadians in minority communities? If so, what were the results, and what else needs to be done in that regard? Thank you.

      Public safety

      Enforcement and sentencing

      The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

      Excerpts repeatedly endorse reverse onus provisions, consecutive sentences, and ending house arrest for serious crimes.

      We would tighten bail provisions so that the system is no longer a revolving door for violent offenders. The message is clear: The principle of restraint does not mean automatic release.
