Parliament Video: Jenny in the House: Will PM admit that Bill Morneau violated the Conflict of Interest Act?

On October 18, 2017, Jenny rose and asked this question:

Jenny Kwan (NDP) Vancouver East, BC

"Mr. Speaker, everyone knows that Bill C-27 furthers the private interests of the finance minister. The Conflict of Interest Act states that a minister is in a conflict “when he or she exercises an official power...to further his or her private interests or those of his or her relatives”.

Will the Prime Minister just admit that his Minister of Finance has violated the Conflict of Interest Act, or is he just too busy working hard for the French villa owners, or those who are working hard to become French villa—"

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.

🇨🇦 Restoring justice for lost Canadians

In the House of Commons, I spoke on my amendments to Bill C-3 — amendments that would restore the bill to its original form and right a historic wrong.

More than a decade ago, the Conservatives stripped children of Canadian parents born abroad of their right to pass on citizenship to their own children — creating two classes of Canadians, separating families, and even rendering some stateless.

The Ontario Superior Court has since ruled that these laws are unconstitutional. My amendments would make Canada’s citizenship laws charter-compliant, restore equality, and end discrimination against second-generation Canadians born abroad.

No Canadian should ever be treated as lesser because they live, work, or study overseas. Citizenship is a birthright — not a privilege based on geography or politics.
