Biography

Paramvir "Parm" Bains is a Canadian politician who currently represents Steveston—Richmond East as a member of the Liberal Party of Canada. In the 2021 Canadian federal election, he defeated incumbent Kenny Chiu.

Prior to his election, Bains was an instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Previously, he was a media and public relations officer with the provincial government. He ran for Richmond City Council in the 2018 British Columbia municipal elections. He is originally from Victoria, British Columbia. He is married and has two children.

Prior to the 2021 Campaign Bains attended a controversial rally which broke COVID regulations and where a political organizer was found dead under suspicious circumstances. Bains is also alleged to have benefited from Chinese government misinformation efforts against Conservative Kenny Chiu, which ultimately helped Bains win. He has faced ongoing criticism for his close relationship with Chinese government affiliated individuals.
