Committees and roles
House of Commons role recordsParty discipline
Canadash derived measureParty discipline in the Canadian House is extremely tight, so almost every member scores near 100%. A lower score is unusual, not a sign of poor performance. This is a descriptive measure we compute ourselves — it is not published by Parliament and 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 measureAgreement only counts divisions where both members cast a yea or nay. A pair with a handful of shared divisions is not comparable to a pair with hundreds, so the shared count is shown alongside every figure. Pairs sharing fewer than 10 divisions are excluded.

House of Commons proactive disclosureHow they vote
Session 45-1Participation counts recorded divisions in the current session only. Committee service, ministerial duties and parliamentary secretary responsibilities all take members out of the Chamber, and none of that is captured in this figure. Paired absences, parliamentary business, official travel and approved leave are likewise indistinguishable from an ordinary absence in the source data. Read the number alongside the committee and office record above rather than as an attendance score.
