Tamara N. Jansen (born 1967 or 1968) is a politician who represented the riding of Cloverdale—Langley City in the House of Commons of Canada from 2019 to 2021.[3] [4] Prior to her election as an MP, she owned and operated a large plant nursery, Darvonda Nurseries, with her husband and family in Langley, British Columbia (district municipality).[5] She endorsed Leslyn Lewis in the 2020 Conservative Party of Canada leadership race.[6]
Jansen was elected to the 2019 Canadian federal election on October 21, 2019 after unseating Liberal incumbent, John Aldag, by 1302 votes.[7] She sat on the Finance, Health, and COVID-19 pandemic committees during the 43rd Parliament. She logged 763 interventions on the committees; additionally, she posted 159 chamber interventions.[8] Jansen joined the Outer Shadow Cabinet. In the 2021 federal election, she lost her seat to former MP John Aldag.[9]
Jansen faced criticism in April 2021 after referencing the word "unclean" while reading a bible quote in opposition to a conversion therapy ban.[10] Jansen voted against Bill C-6, banning conversion therapy in the House of Commons on June 22, 2021.[11] Opposing this in the house, Jansen stated she wanted to include "counsel from religious leaders on sexuality, and the rights of parents to protect and guide their children."[12]
