Dandurand consistently advocates for more government spending and programs, especially ones that benefit her own riding. She frequently brings up local issues like rural cell service and promotes local industries. Dandurand tends to stick to partisan talking points, praising her own party's policies and criticizing the Conservatives.
“I want this bill to pass so the government can claim it is helping families.”
“I want the government to spend more money on rural internet and phone service. I talk about my own bad phone service. I talk about bad service in other places. I say this is a serious problem. I want a new law to map bad service areas. I want to change an old rule to help with this. I want everyone to agree with me.”
“Nice speech. I agree it's urgent. You did good in committee. What should we do first for short-term wins?”
“I want my colleague to tell us what is working well in her riding to fight coercive control. She should name specific local programs that are successful.”
“I want to protect workers' rights. We need a stable economy. That's how we protect workers in the long term. I want to strengthen labour relations. I want to thank the member for introducing the bill. The right to strike is important. We need a balance between workers' rights and economic stability. We need to be able to intervene in labour disputes when necessary. It's a last resort. I want to be clear. We need to protect jobs and investments. We are consulting on the future of labour relations. We need to strengthen negotiation and mediation tools. The labour market is changing. We need a modern and predictable framework. We are listening to unions, employers, and indigenous partners. We need a balanced system that protects workers and promotes free bargaining.”
“I want voters to think I'm doing good work on furniture and cabinets. I want my colleague to look good too. I want the government to give money to local media, not just big media. I want the government to make sure people in regions hear news that affects them. I want the Finance Minister to tell me if the government will give more help and money in the economic update.”
“I'm saying many nice things about local businesses and our spending to help them. I won't say whether that spending will actually work. I'm hoping the nice words and spending will make us look good.”
“You're a Conservative so you must be against clean fuel. That means you're stealing money from farmers! Do you hate farmers?”
“I want to cheer for a regulation. I think it will be good for farmers. I want you to say why the regulation will be good for farmers.”
“I had to chime in. Companies don't use all the spectrums because of the deals they signed with the government. We need to change the contracts. I don't want the same rules for urban and rural areas.”
“I want to cheer for my rural colleague. Naming Bell and Rogers makes me look active. If I say 'taking action' it sounds like we're really doing something. This bill will help by making maps. Then at some point we might help the rurals.”
“I want to cheer for a program that spends money in my riding. Maybe it will score points if I say the bill will do even more than he thought.”
“I want the government to spend more money to improve cell service in rural areas. It's not fair that some areas have bad reception. We should update the rules for cell companies and measure the problem better.”
“I want to brag that I listened to a whole speech by someone in my own party. My riding is similar, so naturally all the same government programs apply. I'm here to make my colleague look good by asking him to repeat his talking points for the agricultural sector.”
“I want to cheer for laid off workers in my riding. I want to look like I'm doing something about a company hurt by China. I met a minister about an investigation. I want you to say what you heard.”
“I want to thank some local officials who came to Ottawa. They're upset about bad cell phone service in rural areas. They say this is a problem for public safety and their local businesses. I want to look like I'm doing something to help because these people are my voters.”
“Thank you for electing me. I'm here because of you. The government should make decisions based on what people like you want. The Prime Minister agrees with me. The government is doing a good job. We are giving people money and making big projects. We will do more. I am very proud to be here.”
