In their own words
4,257 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, the member calls for a focus on economic renewal in this country. We have an opportunity as members of Parliament in this House of Commons to support Bill C-39, a bill that is focused on building up this country. We used to build things in this country.

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 9 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 pricing carbon and green investments to reduce emissions.
Speaker, I will read something, “Climate change is a fact. It is a threat. It is man-made. We have to do something about it, and that something includes putting a price on carbon.” I agree with this sentiment.Source of that line
Defence
Higher spending and more capability
The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments
Excerpts repeat support for military commitments, $80B+ investment and defence industries.
It is so important that we support defence industries that are directly involved in the manufacture of the equipment ultimately used by the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces, who maintain our democracy and who help to uphold the freedom that allows us to be in this chamber and debate the issues of the day.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Excerpts repeat support for oil exports, pipelines and resource development.
We need to build this country up to address that and to ensure that we export our resources with a focus on oil, a focus on critical minerals and the list goes on.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Higher taxes and public spending
The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending
Excerpts repeat rejection of balanced budgets at all costs in favor of spending for growth.
Different plans were put forward by the other parties during the past election campaign, plans that would have seen balanced budgets at all costs. These plans would have resulted in cuts instead of investments, stagnation instead of growth. Ultimately the proposals of the other parties would have left the middle class and those working hard to join the middle class struggling.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Excerpts endorse public health care and pharmacare as progressive policy.
We were the party that put on the table and introduced public health care in Canada. I really think there's great promise here with pharmacare. I indeed do think that it would make us more competitive.Source of that line
Housing
Public supply and demand controls
The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation
Excerpts announce and endorse federal funding for rapid and affordable housing initiatives.
Individuals experiencing homelessness are facing even greater risks to their… Federal Government Investing in New Home for Seniors and Veterans in London Affordable housing must continue to be a priority. Without it, dignity and shared prosperity cannot exist. Today, on behalf of the Honourable Minister Ahmed Hussen,… New Mobile App to Help Notify Canadians of Potential COVID-19 Exposure Now Available Over the past several months, Canadians have been following public health advice and doing their part to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.Source of that line
Immigration
Higher permanent intake
The other end of this axis: Lower intake
Excerpts repeat opposition to provisions that treat dual citizens differently and affirm immigration as central to Canada.
In its submission to the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration on Bill C-24, the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants stated that, in its view: Treating dual citizens differently is discriminatory and violates the fundamental principle that all citizens are equal. Citizens should not face different consequences for committing the same crimes.Source of that line
Labour
Stronger unions and standards
The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers
Excerpts repeat support for unions, strong wages and collective bargaining.
Yesterday, in front of the parliamentary committee that is responsible for labour issues, we heard what the Conservatives' position on unions actually is. They would allow for unions to be starved of membership dues that are vital for their functioning.Source of that line
Trade
Diversify away from one partner
The other end of this axis: Deeper continental integration
Excerpts repeat call to expand exports beyond the US to Asia and other markets.
This is why we see, finally, a focus on resources and proper resource management, exporting to new markets in Asia and beyond.Source of that line
