Slower phase-down, production first

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

Excerpts repeat calls to repeal the oil and gas production cap, Bill C-69, Bill C-48 and the industrial carbon tax so Canada can expand energy output.

The actions needed today are to repeal the no new pipeline bill, Bill C-69; repeal the shipping ban bill, Bill C-48; repeal the job-killing oil and gas production cap; and repeal the industrial carbon tax. Will the Liberal government take action today, the action needed, to repeal its anti-energy agenda?

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Excerpts criticize federal control and call for provinces and investors to lead project decisions without Ottawa interference.

The consensus is clear, as the call to build pipelines and energy infrastructure becomes louder and louder: The only one standing in the way is the federal Liberal government. Building energy projects means a stronger Canadian economy, less dependence on the United States and powerful paycheques for Canadian workers.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

Excerpts repeatedly criticize large deficits and high spending while calling for real tax relief and lower government costs.

Speaker, as mentioned, on this side of the House, we are always for tax breaks, but is this really a serious tax break? Can we go further with it? The amount that has been quoted by the Liberals and some other studies, which is a lower amount, in my opinion is not enough.

Lower intake

The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

Excerpts criticize mismanaged immigration for stressing systems and excluding indigenous workers, implying reduced intake.

Indigenous Canadian unemployment is exacerbated by the Liberal mismanagement of immigration and temporary foreign workers. For years, we have had workers in the indigenous communities wanting their chance to contribute to local economies in rural Canada and urban centres, but they feel left out and forgotten because of Liberal mismanagement.

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpts oppose gun confiscation programs and call for real enforcement over Liberal policies.

Confiscating lawful guns while smugglers pour illegal guns across the border shows how badly the Liberals have lost their way. How can judges, police officers and others involved in law enforcement and justice trust the public safety minister when he says one thing behind closed doors and another thing in the chamber? The $742 million wasted on the program could have funded 5,000 police officers or 37,000 treatment beds, but instead, Canadians are feeling less safe, and indigenous peoples have our rights threatened.
