Jenny rose to speak to an Opposition Day motion moved by my colleague, NDP MP Daniel Blaikie, on Monday, April 29th, 2019:
Why is the Federal Liberal government one the one hand, giving out $12 million for fridges to a company owned by one of the wealthiest families in Canada, and on the other hand, making low-income seniors who use public transit report their BC Bus Pass as income on their income taxes?
On April 10, 2019, I stood in Question Period to ask if Prime Minster Trudeau would withdraw the major changes to immigration that are hidden in his Budget bill:
On April 11, 2019, I put forward a motion seeking unanimous consent from the House to withdraw legislation from the Budget bill that would make drastic changes to Canada's asylum claims process:
On April 10, 2019, Jenny rose in the House on a Point of Order, because I believe that Bill C-97 is an omnibus bill as defined under Standing Order 69.1:
I have learned, in reviewing the Liberal government's 2019 Budget, that they are trying to sneak in changes to refugee laws in their Budget bill.
Humanitarian leaders don't shut their borders to asylum seekers in the midst of a refugee crisis. Lives are at risk.

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:
We knew that the halls of power were rigged for wealthy and corporate insiders. What the scandal over SNC-Lavalin has revealed in detail is just how far the Liberal government has gone to put the interests of the corporate elite over Canadians. The Liberal government keeps telling us how important an independent justice system is, but it all goes out of the window when it is their corporate friends in trouble. It is time for a public inquiry. Canadians deserve to know the whole truth:
On April 4, Jenny stood in Question Period to ask:
My colleague Niki Ashton and I were alerted to the fact that a key witness in an IRCC human trafficking investigation is threatened with imminent deportation by CBSA. In Question Period today, I asked: Will the Ministers halt his deportation to prevent a travesty of justice?
I rose yesterday, April 3, in Question period, to ask the following question:
"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. Because they know that integrity is the cornerstone of your 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?"
On April 3, 2019, Jenny rose in Question Period to ask:
Van East students: "I want you to panic. The climate is changing, why aren't we?"
