    In their own words

    2,241 Hansard interventions on file. These are the words said in the House, not a summary. Private conversations are not collected and are not invented.

    Good morning, colleagues. I call this meeting to order. I'll start by acknowledging that we're meeting on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe nation. Welcome to meeting 44 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources. Today's meeting is taking p…Debate · 2026-06-16

    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.

    Climate

    Faster fossil phase-down

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

    Excerpts repeat support for pricing carbon, net-zero by 2050, and phasing out coal power.

    They understand, as we do, that the most effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to put a price on carbon pollution. I ended the evening by taking a look at the results of our plan so far.

    Energy

    Restrict new oil and gas

    The other end of this axis: Expand production and export

    Excerpts support capping and cutting oil and gas emissions.

    We have committed to cap and cut oil and gas emissions at a pace and scale necessary to achieve Canada's 2030 and 2050 climate targets. We are doing this in a way that allows the sector to compete in a global economy that is transitioning to net zero, and of course, keeps good, green jobs growing here in Canada.

    Federalism

    Ottawa leads

    The other end of this axis: Provinces lead

    Excerpts repeat commitment to re-establishing federal leadership and a national housing strategy.

    Our government is committed to re-establishing federal leadership in affordable housing, and developing the country's first ever national housing strategy. The leadership that this government has shown in the area of housing does not imply that the federal government has all the answers.

    Fiscal policy

    Higher taxes and public spending

    The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending

    Excerpts repeat advocacy for new federal investments in infrastructure and housing.

    Budget 2016 will literally help build Canada and prepare it for the future. Our budget proposes to invest up to $11.9 billion over the next five years on a cash basis to maintain and upgrade federal infrastructure assets that provide services all Canadians can rely on.

    Foreign affairs

    Assertive alliances and sanctions

    The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

    Excerpts support sanctions, lethal aid and standing with allies against Russia.

    Alongside our allies, we have announced three sets of severe and coordinated sanctions on Russia and Belarus. We will continue to impose severe, coordinated economic sanctions, as we call on Russia to reverse course, withdraw its forces and choose diplomacy.

    Health

    Expand public coverage

    The other end of this axis: More private delivery

    Excerpts call for national pharmacare, dental care and sick leave benefits.

    Thanks to their thoughtful feedback, our government has made strong commitments to establishing national pharmacare, increasing old age security, supporting family reunification and many important initiatives that would have a significant and positive impact here in Manitoba and across the country.

    Housing

    Public supply and demand controls

    The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation

    Excerpts back national housing strategy and rapid public housing builds.

    Our $82-billion national housing strategy, the first of its kind in Canadian history, is built around partnership. We are not talking a good game.

    Trade

    Diversify away from one partner

    The other end of this axis: Deeper continental integration

    Excerpt supports CETA as progressive trade agreement delivering growth.

    Speaker, as members know, this side of the House is strongly in favour of CETA because trade means more growth, and more growth means more jobs, which is what this government is all about.
