In their own words
396 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, the fact of the matter is that we have passed significant legislation that has the support of every single major police organization in this country. That is the same legislation the Conservatives have obstructed and delayed every step of the way. The question I hav…Oral Questions — Public Safety · 2026-09-25

Climate
Slower phase-down, production first
The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down
Excerpts repeat support for developing conventional resources alongside clean energy and removing the carbon tax on fuel.
It is to establish Canada as a global energy powerhouse. We will invest in renewable energy, hydrogen, carbon capture and the next generation of clean technologies. At the same time, we will ensure our conventional resources are developed to the highest environmental standards. We will achieve this in close partnership with provinces, territories, indigenous peoples and the private sector.Source of that line
Defence
Higher spending and more capability
The other end of this axis: Restrain spending and deployments
Supports committing to increase defence spending to 5% of GDP and deploying capital for personnel and capabilities.
Now that the government has committed to increase defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2030, do you have any thoughts on how best to deploy that increase in capital to meet the objectives that you laid out around personnel? That's part one of the question.Source of that line
Energy
Expand production and export
The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas
Excerpts discuss offtake agreements for Canadian oil and gas and catalyzing natural resources while noting market forces.
With that mid-term outlook from the International Energy Agency, what type of offtake agreements do we need to see for Canadian oil and gas? In terms of duration, price and credit quality, what do we need to see to have the long-term sustainability of Canadian oil getting to market?Source of that line
Federalism
Provinces lead
The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads
Excerpt states enforcement is a provincial issue not federal.
The hon. member talks about enforcement. That is a provincial issue, not a federal issue. Does she agree that, for the federal government to combat hate, this legislation does go a long way with a lot of the stakeholder groups?Source of that line
Financial regulation
Tighter prudential rules
The other end of this axis: Lighter capital rules and more competition
Supports strengthening AML framework, higher penalties and enhanced compliance for financial institutions.
This makes strong and effective anti-money laundering controls a critical component of keeping Canadians safe. Bill C-2 would strengthen Canada's anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regime through stronger penalties for financial crimes and by addressing the most prevalent forms of money laundering. It would enhance public-to-private information sharing and strengthen the supervision and compliance of financial institutions and other businesses and professionals with anti-money laundering obligations.Source of that line
Health
Expand public coverage
The other end of this axis: More private delivery
Supports protecting and expanding pharmacare, dental care and child care programs.
Our government is also protecting the programs that matter most to Canadians, programs such as pharmacare, dental care and child care. Canada's social safety net is the envy of the world and we will protect the programs Canadians rely on.Source of that line
Housing
Market supply and deregulation
The other end of this axis: Public supply and demand controls
Excerpts endorse removing HST for first-time buyers and market-oriented housing construction.
We have removed the HST for first-time homebuyers, helping more young Canadians achieve the dream of home ownership. Build Canada Homes will catalyze the creation of an entirely new Canadian housing industry that uses modern methods of construction to boost productivity and at scale, which will help add more housing and a diversity of housing for more Canadians.Source of that line
Public safety
Enforcement and sentencing
The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint
Excerpts repeatedly back stricter bail, more officers and tougher anti-trafficking laws.
To support this initiative we are hiring 1,000 new RCMP personnel and 1,000 new CBSA officers to enforce these laws and keep our country safe, while stricter bail and sentencing laws will ensure that repeat violent offenders are behind bars. Finally, budget 2025 will make life more affordable by spending less on government operations so we can refocus investment to grow our economy and protect the programs that make life more affordable for Canadians.Source of that line
Trade
Diversify away from one partner
The other end of this axis: Deeper continental integration
Excerpts state the era of relying solely on the US is over and call for diversifying to 20 partners.
The era of relying solely on deeply integrated trade with the United States is over. Our country cannot be subject to the whims of any foreign leader, and we must build infrastructure, industry and sustainable development projects at speeds that we have not seen in generations. We are investing over $60 billion in capital investment for the infrastructure of the future, including nuclear power, carbon capture, critical minerals, offshore wind and high-speed rail.Source of that line
