Parliament Video: Jenny in the House: Will Budget 2019 Put Everyday Canadians First?

On February 27, Jenny rose in Question Period to ask who will come first in the Liberal's 2019 Budget:

Jenny Kwan (NDP) Vancouver East, BC

"Mr. Speaker, throughout the byelection in Burnaby South, people made it clear to Jagmeet Singh that the Liberals only care about the wealthy and the well connected.

Everyday Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. They cannot afford the medication that they need. While the Liberals will move heaven and earth to help the corporate elite, everyday Canadians are left behind. All Canadians deserve safe, affordable housing, public universal pharmacare and food on the table.

No more delays. No more excuses. Will the Prime Minister put everyday Canadians first for a change, and make real investments in budget 2019 for the people who are most in need?"
