- Hello, Bonjour, Sat Sri Akal, Ni Hao, Kamusta Po!
Delivering Over $640 Million in Federal Investments for Richmond
As your Member of Parliament for Steveston–Richmond East since 2021, I have led with a centrist, results-driven approach focused on improving life for every Richmond resident. My work in Ottawa during the 44th Parliament secured over $640 million in federal investments, driving generational job growth, modern infrastructure, and community services across the city.
Local Results That Matter
Through collaboration across all levels of government, I have championed funding for projects that directly benefit Richmond families, workers, and seniors, including:
$46 million for housing, unlocking faster permits, affordable builds, and supportive housing for women and children
Strategic economic investments in aerospace, innovation, clean tech, and food production
Infrastructure upgrades from flood protection to clean water systems
2,300+ new local jobs created by mid-2024
Support for community well-being, including active living spaces, senior services, and mental health programs
A Champion for Cost of Living Relief
I also backed national affordability measures that directly help Richmond residents:
$10-a-day childcare
Increased Old Age Security for seniors 75+
Canada Child Benefit (avg. $6,000/family)
Dental care, pharmacare, and a national school food program
Student loan interest elimination
Lower credit card and banking fees
A Steady Voice for the Future
With a proven track record in delivering for Richmond, I continue to advocate for:
Personal income tax cuts for working Canadians
Reducing red tape and cracking down on anti-competitive pricing
Cutting government waste while protecting services
Strengthening Canada’s trade relationships and internal economy
As Canada enters a new chapter of leadership under Prime Minister Mark Carney, I remain a steady, pragmatic voice for the future—focused on economic growth, affordability, and a better quality of life for all.
Building Generational Strength for Richmond






I spent most of my childhood on the soccer pitch at South Arm Park – where I coach more than I play these days.
Professionally, I served as a Public Relations Officer with the BC Government, and I spent over 14 years working on public policy issues. I gained extensive knowledge and developed my skills in fostering relationships between all levels of government and community.
Over the years, I became really determined to search for ideas and work towards finding solutions to build a community we can all enjoy living in.
What I want to focus on is making sure the next generation can live in a healthy community environment like I did growing up. Better is always possible. I am Parm Bains, and I am your local voice for Richmond East – Steveston. Sincerely, Parm Bains
