Party discipline

Canadash derived measure

Canadian parties expect their members to vote together, so almost every member scores near 100%. A lower score is unusual, not a sign of poor performance. We calculate this ourselves — Parliament does not publish it, and it carries no judgement. Only divisions where the member cast a yea or nay and their caucus had a clear majority position are counted.

Voting alignment

Canadash derived measure

Agreement counts only the votes where both members took a recorded position, for or against. A pair with a handful of shared votes is not comparable to a pair with hundreds, so the shared count is shown beside every figure. Pairs sharing fewer than 10 divisions are excluded.

Electoral history

Elections Canada

Fundraising and donors

Elections Canada political financing
Corporations, unions and associations cannot donate federally. Since the Federal Accountability Act took effect in 2007, only individual Canadian citizens and permanent residents may contribute to federal parties, candidates, riding associations, and leadership or nomination contestants — and only up to an annual limit per recipient category (roughly $1,750 in recent years, indexed each year). So the individual contributions shown here are close to the complete picture of direct donations to this member, not a partial view.That is not the same as saying money and organised interests are absent from federal politics. Direct donation is one channel among several, and we do not currently cover registered third-party election advertising, lobbying, leadership and nomination contest financing, party-level finances, or sponsored travel and gifts disclosed to the Ethics Commissioner.

This counts only votes where each member’s choice was written down and published (a recorded division), in the current session. Committee work, ministerial duties and parliamentary secretary duties all keep members out of the Chamber, and none of that shows up here. An agreement with an opponent that both would sit a vote out, parliamentary business, official travel and approved leave also look exactly like simply not turning up. Read this number alongside the committee and office record above rather than as an attendance score.
