Jenny has learned, in reviewing the Liberal government's 2019 Budget Omnibus bill, that they are trying to sneak in changes to refugee laws in their Budget. Humanitarian leaders don't shut their borders to asylum seekers in the midst of a refugee crisis. Lives are at risk. That's why, on April 9, 2019, Jenny rose in Question Period to ask once again:
On October 27, 2025, MP Jenny Kwan appeared at the Standing Committee on Finance, calling for a change to the Liberal government's First-Time Homebuyers' GST Exemption.
The change that she sought, if it had passed, would apply the GST exemption based on the closing date of the sale.
Without this change, first-time homebuyers who signed pre-construction agreements before May 27, 2025, won't qualify for the GST exemption – even though the closing date is after the exemption is in place.
MP Kwan tried four times to move amendments to make this change but it was rejected by the Committee chair, -- and, not one Conservative, Bloc or Liberal did anything to support this change.
They could have challenged the chair as they did with other amendments which were then passed - but they did not.
