Wilson Miao MP (Chinese: 繆宗晏; born April 12, 1987) is a Canadian politician who serves as the member of parliament for Richmond Centre. He was elected to the House of Commons in the 2021 federal election as a member of the Liberal Party.[1]

Early life and education

Miao immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong in 1996.[2]

He grew up in Richmond, British Columbia, and went to Simon Fraser University for business administration.

Prior to his election, he worked in corporate marketing and as a real estate agent in the Lower Mainland.[3][4]

Wilson speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.

Political career

After being acclaimed as the Richmond Centre Liberal Candidate, Miao declared his priorities to be advocacy for seniors, newcomers and youth. He reaffirmed that a more affordable and comfortable retirement for seniors is [5] a critical issue for Canadians. During the 2021 campaign he said “I’m hoping I have the chance to listen to more people and bring back that voice to Ottawa”.[2]

Miao went on to win over the Conservative incumbent Alice Wong by less than 700 votes.  

In his maiden speech in the House of Commons, Miao emphasized the importance of the House acting as a united front to “create real change and meaningful process”.[6] He currently sits on two parliamentary standing committees: Veteran Affairs and International Trade.[7]

In January 2023, Miao opened his constituency office in Richmond Centre after 16 months without an office,[8][9] and faced significant criticism for his lack of availability to his constituents during this period. His office also accrued the largest renovation bill of any Member of Parliament.[10][11]
