Parliament is where I bring the voices of Vancouver East constituents to government and fight for real action and legislative change. I do this through debating and voting on legislation in the chamber, as well as attend committee meetings where Members of Parliament examine, discuss, and debate issues in greater depth and details.

On this page you can see all question period questions, statements and speeches that I make in the House of Commons. In the “In Committee” page you can see my debates and proceedings in various parliamentary committees.

Select videos of questions and statements can be viewed under the “House Speeches” section.

Madam Speaker, it has been brought to light that Canada's visa application centre in China has been subcontracted to a Chinese state-owned company run and operated by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. The company that was awarded the contract, VFS Global, has confirmed at the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration that the Canadian government knew right from the beginning that services were being subcontracted and that it was informed of the ownership structure of the company.

On April 29, 2021, the House of Commons debated late into the night on Bill C-29, an Act put forward by the Liberal government to force workers at the Port of Montreal back to work & stripping them of their rights as enshrined in the law. MP Jenny Kwan spoke out against this back-to-work legislation, and delivered a speech in favour of respecting workers and their rights, respecting the collective bargaining process, respecting labour, and urging the government to withdraw the Bill.

On April 27, 2021, MP Jenny Kwan raised a number of concerns in the House related to CRA, raised by constituents: the need to extend the tax filing deadline for seniors receiving Guaranteed Income Supplement as was done in the earlier waves of the pandemic; as well as ongoing issues with CERB and taxation of CERB, and the case of one constituent, a busker, who finally received their Canada Recovery Benefit only after many months of advocacy on the issue.

On Friday April 23, 2021, MP Jenny Kwan rose in the House to ask: Will the Prime Minister immediately amend the 2021 Budget to include an urban, rural, and Northern For Indigenous, By Indigenous housing strategy?
