Parliament Video: Jenny Kwan in QP: "Is this what a self-proclaimed feminist looks like in 2019?"

On April 3, 2019, Jenny rose in Question Period to ask:

Jenny Kwan Vancouver East, BC

"Mr. Speaker, today in this chamber dozens of the Daughters of the Vote turned their backs to the Prime Minister. Why? It is because they support strong, independent women speaking truth to power and because they know that integrity is the cornerstone of a person's character.

By kicking the first indigenous attorney general of Canada out of caucus for upholding the law, the Prime Minister has made it clear that principled women who dare to stand up to him are not welcome in the Liberal Party.

Is this what a self-proclaimed feminist looks like in 2019?"
