Slower phase-down, production first

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

Excerpts repeat criticism of carbon tax and fuel standards as driving up costs, calling to scrap them.

Why is the Liberal government increasing the industrial carbon tax and making housing even more expensive?

Expand production and export

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

Excerpts state support for oil and gas sector and building pipelines to unleash the sector.

Speaker, we do believe in supporting the oil and gas sector and building pipelines because that is to Canada's competitive advantage. A country either has natural resources or does not.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending

Excerpts repeat calls to end inflationary deficits, cut taxes and require budgets before spending.

As a finance professional of 14 years, I say the same to this Liberal government: Come back when there is a plan to pay for all of this spending. The government says economic conditions may change over the summer.

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Excerpts call for sanctions, deportation and action against the Iranian regime.

Today we are calling on the Liberals to table a plan within one week to do the following: enforce deportation orders for regime officials and close the loopholes that allow them to stay here in Canada, coordinate Canada's Iranian sanctions to ensure effective compliance, end the regime's money laundering efforts here in Canada, evaluate Canada's terrorism threat level, identify any gaps in Canada's national security legislation and, finally, complete Canada's foreign influence registry.

Lower intake

The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

Excerpts criticize increased funding for asylum claimants and call to stop system abuse.

Canadians are compassionate people, but why is the minister not stopping asylum system abuse?

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpts repeat calls for bail reform, tougher penalties and against catch-and-release.

For the victims of all forms of crime, and for our police, I ask this: Where is the legislation to repeal catch-and-release bail laws? Where is the legislation to end human trafficking? Where is the legislation to crack down on intimate partner violence? Where is the urgency to meet this moment? I met a Canadian entrepreneur in Aurora who is bright, driven and successful.
