{{AAType |Image=Photo 1705514 resize.jpg |Home page=http://www.laurinliu.ca/ |Location=Rivière-des-Mille-Îles |Arts=Politics |Type=Person }} Laurin Liu, MP (traditional Chinese: 劉舒雲; simplified Chinese: 刘舒云; Jyutping: Lau Syu Wan, born November 13, 1990) is a Canadian politician who was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 2011 federal election. She represents the electoral district of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles as a member of the New Democratic Party. She is the youngest female Member of Parliament in Canadian history. She was one of five candidates, alongside Mylène Freeman, Matthew Dubé, Charmaine Borg and Jamie Nicholls, who were McGill University students when elected in the 2011 election following the NDP's unexpected mid-campaign surge in Quebec. At the time of her election, she was pursuing a double major in History and Cultural Studies. She was active on campus as a board member of CKUT radio, a representative to the CKUT Programming Committee, an employee of McGill university's undergraduate student union, and a staff member of the McGill Daily. Liu was raised in Pointe-Claire, Quebec. Prior to attending McGill, she was a student at Royal West Academy and Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf. At Jean-de-Brébeuf, she became politically active by founding the NDP campus club. She later moved on to be co-president of the youth wing of the Quebec section of the NDP. Liu, whose parents came to Canada from China in the 1980s, is fluent in French, English and Cantonese.
