In their own words

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 6 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 criticizes Conservatives for voting against funding for dairy, poultry and egg supply management producers and affirms support for farmers in transition.

They voted against funding in support of dairy, poultry and egg supply management producers. On this side of the House, we believe in our farmers, we support our farmers and we help them fight climate change.

Climate

Faster fossil phase-down

The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first

Calls for net-zero by 2050 based on IPCC science and urges urgent ambitious action to limit warming to 1.5°C.

The science is clear: to hold the temperature increase to 1.5°C and stave off the worst effects of climate warming, we must achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The Paris Agreement, to which Canada is a signatory, echoes these findings.

Energy

Restrict new oil and gas

The other end of this axis: Expand production and export

Highlights ending international public finance for fossil fuels and ambitious methane regulations on oil and gas.

International organizations have noted that at the end of 2022, Canada followed through on its commitment to end international public finance for fossil fuels—a commitment that was made, I might specify, under the previous Harper government—and that we've put forward some of the most ambitious regulations, with the goal of reducing oil and gas methane emissions by at least 75% from 2012 levels by 2030.

Financial regulation

Tighter prudential rules

The other end of this axis: Lighter capital rules and more competition

States that OSFI will impose climate obligations on all financial institutions.

This is not optional. It is an obligation that Canada's Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions is going to impose on all financial institutions. My colleague is speaking only about the big banks.

Immigration

Higher permanent intake

The other end of this axis: Lower intake

Celebrates meeting and exceeding francophone immigration targets outside Quebec.

For the first time in the country's history, we met our target of 4% for francophone immigration outside Quebec. We are at 7%. We are going to hit 8% and then get to 12%.

Public safety

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Advocates legislation requiring platforms to eliminate illegal content including hate speech and violent extremism.

This new regulation would require online platforms, not just websites, to eliminate illegal content, including hate speech, child sexual exploitation and violent or extremist content.
