Hello there!

Welcome to my website!

I was honoured to serve in Canada’s Parliament, Ottawa, representing the federal riding of Vancouver East from 1997-2015. This website contains archival material of my time in Parliament. Additional material from those 18 years can be accessed on openParliament and on the Parliamentary OurCommon site.

Outside In: A Political Memoir

This website also provides information about my book, “Outside In: A Political Memoir”. It can be ordered from any online book-seller, directly from BTL Books  or from your favourite local independent bookstore like Vancouver based Upstart and Crow. “Outside In” is also now available as an e book and an audio book and can be found in your favourite format.

“In a time of peak cynicism about the political class, Libby has always been the exception. For decades, she has been a human bridge between the passions of activism and the pragmatism of the electoral sphere. It is no surprise then, that this book is quintessential Libby: principled and brave, full of energy and generosity.” – Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything
