In their own words
3,115 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, I rise today to present a petition from dozens of Canadians in support of Bill C-218, which is commonly referred to as the right to recover act. The petitioners recognize that the Canadian government intends to expand medical assistance in dying to individuals whose…Routine Proceedings — Petitions · 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 8 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
Repeats criticism of Liberal sellout of supply management farmers and supports farmers in that sector.
I am talking about the Liberals' sellout of our supply management farmers and aluminum producers. Then there were the missed opportunities, such as failing to address the softwood lumber dispute, failing to respond to the “buy America” clause and failing to move to update the list of professionals eligible for temporary business entry to reflect the 21st-century economy, just to name a few examples.Source of that line
Climate
Slower phase-down, production first
The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down
Excerpts repeat that Conservatives reduced emissions while balancing economy and urge caution on Paris commitments.
The Conservative government was the only government in Canadian history to actually reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It has a very strong record when it comes to looking after the economy.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Excerpts support resource sector incentives, mining exploration, and criticize measures that hinder energy projects.
One of the measures in this bill would permanently eliminate the tariffs on mobile offshore drilling units used on offshore oil and gas exploration and development. This would continue to improve the global competitiveness of Canadian energy projects, while increasing the potential for valuable resource discoveries.Source of that line
Federalism
Ottawa leads
The other end of this axis: Provinces lead
Excerpts call for federal government to assert authority over provinces on pipeline projects.
The federal government maintains the right over the transportation of energy between provinces. Trans Mountain was approved, and the law is clear: the federal government has jurisdiction.Source of that line
Fiscal policy
Lower taxes and tighter spending
The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending
Excerpts repeatedly praise balanced budgets, fiscal responsibility, and warn against new spending and deficits.
It was hard work, careful financial planning and prudent fiscal responsibility on the part of the strong leadership of our country that we can boast of a balanced budget. We went from a deficit of $55.Source of that line
Foreign affairs
Assertive alliances and sanctions
The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint
Excerpts endorse strong support for Israel and Ukraine and principled foreign policy based on shared values.
Israel has no closer friend than Canada. Our government is committed to advancing a principled foreign policy that is based on the values of freedom, human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Can the Minister of Natural Resources please update this House on the Prime Minister's recent trip to Israel?Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Excerpts endorse expanded tools and funding for security agencies to counter terrorism threats.
We do not believe in exporting terrorism, and that is why we need Bill C-51. As Barry Cooper, from the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute, put it: So let us state the obvious: Bill C-51 is aimed at violent Islamic jihadi terrorists, and those are the persons against whom its provisions are to be enforced.Source of that line
Trade
Deeper continental integration
The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner
Excerpts stress close US friendship, shared border, and bilateral trade initiatives.
The United States is, and will remain, Canada's closest friend. Our unique relationship is time honoured. We have been friends, partners, and allies for nearly 150 years.Source of that line
