In their own words

15,724 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, there are times in Canada's national life when families experience terrible tragedies. The Prime Minister has just brought one of those tragedies to my attention. He would like to speak on behalf of all Canadians to offer his condolences to a treasured member of the…Oral Questions — Condolences · 2026-09-24

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 10 of 14 topics. Each row names the end of that topic’s axis the stored words reached, and the sentence the score rests on.

Agriculture

Defend supply management

The other end of this axis: Liberalize supply management

Repeatedly states Conservatives will defend industries protected by supply management and keep them viable.

We will defend the interests of agricultural industries that are protected by supply management. And we will step up to the table and find real solutions to the trade problems that western farmers as well have when they try to export their products.

Climate

Slower phase-down, production first

The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down

Excerpts oppose carbon tax and promote natural gas exports to displace coal.

Canada is perfectly positioned to reduce global emissions by shipping our natural gas. Why? We have 1,220 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

Energy

Expand production and export

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

Excerpts criticize pipeline cancellations and support exporting oil and gas.

If people do not believe me, just ask the 7,000 would-be workers at the now cancelled Teck Frontier mine in northern Alberta. If people do not believe me, ask the thousands of workers who would be on site now, finishing the construction of the northern gateway pipeline.

Federalism

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

States child care is a family matter, not federal or provincial jurisdiction.

However, the Conservatives realize that the issue of child care is neither a federal nor provincial jurisdiction, it is a family matter. I would like our Conservative member to comment on this.

Financial regulation

Lighter capital rules and more competition

The other end of this axis: Tighter prudential rules

Praises Canada's sound banking system and criticizes US government intervention in mortgages.

The World Economic Forum's 2009-10 global competitiveness report has again ranked Canada as having the world's soundest banking system. Canada's banks and other financial institutions are sound and well capitalized, and we are less highly leveraged than our international peers heading into this global financial crisis.

Foreign affairs

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Excerpts support cutting aid to Hamas and Israel's right to defeat it.

It is not an activist group; Hamas is a sadistic criminal terrorist death cult, and it must be defeated. Indeed, Israel does have the right to defend itself in accordance with international law, and it has the right to respond, just as Canadians would respond if an attack of this type were carried out against our people or on our soil.

Immigration

Lower intake

The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

Excerpts criticize mass migration and open borders for straining services.

About four years ago, for reasons unknown, this Liberal government decided to overturn Canada's immigration system, to destroy the world's best immigration system. It did so by increasing population growth by 200%, adding 1.

Labour

More flexibility for employers

The other end of this axis: Stronger unions and standards

Criticizes strikes, supports EI reforms limiting easy access, and emphasizes individual work over collective demands.

After 51 days of gridlock and half a billion dollars in economic costs, our government moved to take the actions that ultimately ended that strike. Those in Ottawa know that throughout this time it has been fairly difficult.

Public safety

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Repeatedly calls for mandatory jail time, ending house arrest for serious offenders, and three-strikes laws.

We are bringing in tough three-strikes legislation to ensure that offenders who commit three serious violent or sexual offences serve jail time for an indefinite period of time. We have replaced house arrest with mandatory jail time.

Trade

Deeper continental integration

The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner

Highlights adding dozens of free trade agreements and benefits from deals like with Europe.

When our government came to office, there were six free trade agreements in place for Canada. Now there are about 44. We have added almost 40 new free trade agreements.
