On November 30, 2020, Emmanuella Lambropoulos became a member of the standing committee on Public Safety and National Security.

During one of her first meetings at the Public Safety and National Security committee, she asked the chair of the Centre for Cyber Security how Canadian companies who deal directly with state-owned enterprises can protect themselves from cyber threats.

Lambropoulos is said to have helped many organizations in her riding, one of them is Centre communauté Bon courage , an organization that offers services to the riding's neediest families, obtain a total grant of $37,000 from the Canada Summer Jobs program. This organization succeeded in hiring 12 people, including five animation positions at Painter Park, following a joint job offer by Lambropoulos' Youth Council.{{Cite web|last=Lavoie|first=Laurent|date=2019-10-15|title=L'éthique d'Emmanuella Lambropoulos questionnée|url=https://journalmetro.com/actualites/montreal/2387366/lethique-demmanuella-lambropoulos-questionnee/|access-date=2020-07-24|website=Journal Métro|language=fr-FR}}{{Cite web|title=Une députée fédérale compare la laïcité à la ségrégation|url=https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2019/05/10/une-deputee-federale-compare-la-laicite-a-de-la-segregation|access-date=2020-07-24|website=TVA Nouvelles|date=10 May 2019 }}{{Cite web|url=https://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/43-2/LANG/meeting-5/evidence#Int-11003913|title = Evidence - LANG (43-2) - No. 5 - House of Commons of Canada}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.journaldequebec.com/2020/11/09/les-quebecois-inquiets-pour-lavenir|title=Le déclin du français inquiète de plus en plus au Québec|date=9 November 2020 }}{{Cite news|url=https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/politique/2020-11-24/ottawa-sous-pression-pour-appliquer-la-loi-101-au-federal.php|title=Ottawa sous pression pour appliquer la loi 101 au fédéral|newspaper=La Presse |date=24 November 2020|last1=Levesque |first1=Catherine }}
