It seems a somewhat strange comment, considering the most prominent example of anti-Chinese legislation that I know of, the
Chinese Immigration Act of 1885, was passed by the (Tory) government of
Arthur Meighen.
It is an odd comment, but a politician's task is to blame the other party for what his own has done. The first significant
Liberal Party of British Columbia Premier/government was
John Oliver. 1918-1927; he may have been instrumental in getting the Exclusion Act passed, but it was Ottawa's bailiwick, and the "other party" was in power federally; what anti-Chinese laws might have been passed during his regime I can't imagine; maybe there were some but it sounds like political mythology/buck-passing/excuse-making to me.

No, because the BC government had no authority to pass immigration laws; not that they didn't try, sending bill after bill to Ottawa for ratification and always getting turned down until Ottawa started the 1885 Head Tax at the end of railway construction (when it would no longer be a block to getting the railway done cheaply, which is why Ottawa had refused to listen to BC previously). The BC legislation that was anti-Chinese, such as the disenfrancisement from municipal voting in 1890, happened before political parties were instituted in British Columbia (see info on
British Columbia general election, 1898 and others pre-1903, as well as 1903's; which brought in a Conservative regime under
Richard McBride.) All this in that Morton book ref'd on the
Anti-Chinese legislation in Canada talkpage ->
History of Chinese immigration to Canada refs section. It's also very important to understand, and usually rather tactlessly passed over without comment in Chinese Canadian historical writing/coverage, that during the colonial years the Governors were very pro-Chinese, as were many other non-Chinese colonists, and protectd the Chinese from the hostility and depradations of the Americans (as well as "Canadians" - Eastern Canadians now - and First Nations on occasion).
Governor Douglas' policies and measures in particular were very protective and pro-Chinese.

Private Member's bill - did it pass?
Jung's other achievements include introducing a Private Member's Bill in 1962 that granted amnesty to illegal immigrants from Hong Kong, also known as "Paper Sons".
What is the source for saying he presented a Private Member's Bill implementing this program in 1962? There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever in the House of Commons Debates and Journals that a bill was presented to the House by any of its Members on the topic. According to Ninette Kelly and Michael Trebilcock in The Making of the Mosaic: a history of Canadian Immigration Policy, 1998, p.331 the Chinese Adjustment Program was implemented on June 9, 1960.--
