MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

Hon. Bardish Chagger

Chagger consistently advocates for more federal spending and government intervention, particularly on housing and social issues. She frequently mentions her Waterloo riding and what constituents there supposedly want. While often claiming to welcome debate and diverse perspectives, her actual questions and comments usually just promote the Liberal government's agenda and talk points.

Government Orders

Government Business No. 11—Proceedings on Bill C-26

“I want to talk about the other party instead of the bill. They aren't doing their job in committee. I don't like them talking about other things. They are just trying to hurt people, not help Canadians. I want the government to be able to deliver on something really popular.”

Government Orders

Government Business No. 12—Proceedings on Bill C-30

“The opposition says 30 hours of debate isn't enough. I heard from people in Waterloo. They want us to debate. They want us to make decisions. The Liberals are the government. I say we need to make decisions. I want the opposition to stop debating and agree with my decisions.”

Government Orders

Build Canada Homes Act

“I want to cheer for a government program that spends money, especially in the other guy's riding. I won't give him space to criticize our bill. Instead I'll ask if he really opposes this list of nice-sounding projects in his province.”

“I want to support this bill. I think the Conservatives should help too. If they don't help, I think they're making things worse on purpose.”

“I want the federal government to spend more on housing. People I talk to in Waterloo like when the government spends money. Conservative MPs sometimes act like they want the spending too, even though they vote against these bills. Why don't Conservatives just admit they want the government to spend on housing?”

Private Members' Business

Criminal Code

“I want people to always believe women who say they are victims. It's wrong when a judge doesn't believe 48 women. How do we make sure all women coming forward are always believed?”

Government Orders

Canadian Space Launch Act

“I want to appear reasonable, so I won't argue about the bill's length. Instead, I'll try to corner you into agreeing that we must pass this bill to keep Canada in the space game.”

“I like that a Canadian went to space recently. I want the private space sector to do more so government doesn't have to. My voters want me to say nice things about this in Parliament.”
