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.

Parliament Video: Jenny in the House: Hitting the Government on Irregular Crossings

Border communities are bracing for another spike in irregular crossings. We know what the Conservative plan is, to follow Trump by shutting down the border and turning away refugees. However, we have not seen any plan from the government. People are risking life and limb to cross the border, but the Prime Minister has refused to suspend the safe third country agreement. We are seeing troubling comments from the Prime Minister, suggesting that some migrants are trying to game the system:

Parliament Video: Jenny in the House: Statement in the House on the Women’s Memorial March

28 years ago indigenous women in the Downtown Eastside marched for the first time to bring attention to the debilitating number of women and girls missing and murdered in their community. Twenty-eight years later, the RCMP indicates that there are 1,200 cases of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls across Canada. Many believe the numbers to be much higher. Communities across the country are still marching, still demanding action, and accountability. There is not one indigenous community in Canada that has not been touched by systemic racism and sexism that allow indigenous women and girls to be stolen from their loved ones, and I might add, indigenous men like Colten Boushie to be killed without repercussions. My heart is with the families and allies who are marching, once again, for justice. We need to honour the memories of the women and girls by demanding concrete action and justice, not just today but every single day:

Jewish Heritage Month

I am proud to have this opportunity today to stand in the House in support of Bill S-232, which would establish May as Jewish heritage month.
I must admit that I am a bit surprised that such a bill has not yet already been passed in the House. The United States proclaimed May as the month to celebrate the contributions of the American Jewish community in 2006, and Ontario established May as Jewish Heritage Month in 2012.

Are you ready to take action?
