Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find contact information for Members of Parliament?
Use the official House of Commons directory at ourcommons.ca or search by postal code through the Parliament of Canada website. Most MPs also maintain constituency offices with publicly listed contact information.
Where can I find provincial ministers and their staff?
Each provincial government maintains official directories - for example, Ontario's Legislative Assembly website, Quebec's Assemblée nationale, or BC's Legislative Assembly portal. These typically include minister portfolios, office locations, and contact details.
How do I locate municipal council members and mayors?
Municipal websites always include council directories with contact information. Search for the specific city or town website plus 'council' or 'mayor'. Most municipalities also publish council meeting minutes with official contact details.
Are Canadian government officials' salaries public information?
Yes, compensation for elected officials and senior public servants is publicly disclosed through sunshine lists (provincial) and public accounts (federal). Each province maintains public sector salary disclosure lists for officials earning above specific thresholds.
