Khalid consistently advocates for more government spending and programs, often citing issues in her own riding. She supports bills that expand government power and control, brushing off concerns about overreach. While sometimes acknowledging others' points, she tends to redirect back to her own agenda and implies opposing views lack compassion.
“I want you to think I'm defending democracy. I want you to ignore how this bill adds many new restrictions and criminal penalties around elections. I want you to ignore how many existing laws and limits it extends. The government should control online information more. The government should make more rules for who is allowed to donate to politics. Police should have new powers to summon and investigate in the name of election integrity. Your personal information should be guarded by the government's own safeguards. I support this bill because it gives government more power to regulate and police elections.”
“I want you to vote for my bill. I'll say that you don't care about victims if you don't. I'm ignoring your point about mandatory minimum penalties. I'll talk about a different part of the bill that sounds good. I won't talk about whether the bill actually does what I say. You're either with me or against victims. I want this bill to pass no matter what.”
“You're asking good questions. But you should stop getting in the way. Let us pass bills. Things would be safer if you let this bill pass.”
“You already praised our astronaut program. Now I want you to say it again. Say why Canada must spend to launch our own rockets and to do our own space research, on top of working with other countries.”
“You want to help people. I want to help people too. Maybe you just don't understand how important it is to help people. Do you want to help people? Or are you just trying to score points?”
“I want to say the problem is very big and I think my party's bill is good but we need to spend more money to make it go away.”
“I want Canadians to believe that the government is making the justice system better for victims of sexual misconduct or violence. If we add more support systems, maybe more people will trust the system and come forward.”
“I want to pass this bill quickly because a famous person worked on it.”
“The Canadian Armed Forces are very important. Bad things happened. We need to fix the system. Bill C-11 will help. It moves sexual misconduct cases to civilian courts. That makes the process clear and fair. It gives victims more support. It keeps the system independent. People need a system that works. Let's pass this bill to make things better.”
