    Public Registry of Designated Travellers In accordance with the Members By-law, a Member of the House of Commons may designate one person, other than the Member’s employee or another Member who is not the Member’s spouse, as their designated traveller. The Clerk of the House of Commons maintains the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. This list discloses each Member’s designated traveller. If a Member chooses not to have a designated traveller, that Member’s name does not appear on the Public Registry of Designated Travellers. The Registry may include former Members as it also contains the names of Members whose expenditures are reported in the Members’ Expenditures Report for the current fiscal year if they ceased to be a Member on or after April 1, 2015 (the start of the current fiscal year). Members are able to change their designated traveller once every 365 days, at the beginning of a new Parliament, or if the designated traveller dies. The Public Registry of Designated Travellers is updated on a quarterly basis. Registre public des voyageurs désignés Conformément au Règlement administratif relatif aux députés, un député de la Chambre des communes peut désigner une personne comme voyageur désigné sauf ses employés ou un député dont il n’est pas le conjoint. La greffière de la Chambre des communes tient le Registre public des voyageurs désignés. Cette liste indique le nom du voyageur désigné de chaque député. Si un député préfère ne pas avoir de voyageur désigné, le nom du député ne figurera pas dans le Registre public des voyageurs désignés.

    House of Commons INDIVIDUAL MEMBER’S EXPENDITURES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2002-2003 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS FINANCE AND HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTORATE PREPARED JUNE 2003 Introduction • The Speaker of the House of Commons, on behalf of the Board of Internal Economy (BOIE), tables the consolidated report on Individual Member’s Expenditures on an annual basis pursuant to BOIE By-laws. Prior to tabling, Members receive a copy of their Individual Expenditures report. • In the attached report, seats held by former Members are identified as "vacant" followed by the constituency name for those who resigned during the fiscal year: Stéphan Tremblay (May 7, 2002), Michel Bellehumeur (May 18, 2002), John Richardson (October 11, 2002), Pierre Brien (March 11, 2003) and Antoine Dubé (March 17, 2003). Following the resignation or death of a Member, the Party Whips of the former Members or the Speaker, for an Independent Member, ensure that constituents continue to be served until the date of a by-election. Prior to tabling, reports for vacant seats are sent to the Party Whips or to the Speaker, if applicable. • The Individual Member’s Expenditures are presented in two categories: expenditures charged to each Member’s Office Budget versus Support Provided by the House. The attached report is for the fiscal year April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2003. Prorated budgets were calculated from the date of the by- elections to the end of the fiscal year for the following Members: Rex Barnes (May 13, 2002), R.

  • The NDP and the Third Party Curse in Canada
    The NDP and the Third Party Curse in Canada by Maria Mavrikkou A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Maria Mavrikkou 2009 AUTHORS DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT This thesis evaluates the position of the NDP as Canada’s third party in federal electoral politics. It analyzes three external factors, the electoral system, the party finance system and the effects of voter behaviour and low voter turnout on the electoral success of the NDP. This work aims to discover why the NDP is seemingly caught in what this thesis refers to as a third party curse. Each of the three external factors which are susceptible to change are analyzed individually to discover whether they have a negative effect on the electoral success of the party. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank all those who have influenced the writing of this thesis in one way or another, and all those who contributed to this long process somewhere along the way. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES vi CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………………………………... 1 The Canadian Electoral System 5 The Canadian Finance System 8 Voter Behaviour and Voter Turnout in Canada 9 CHAPTER TWO: THE CANADIAN ELECTORAL SYSTEM ……………...………………………………………….…12

  • Individual Member's Expenditures for the Fiscal Year 2008-2009
    House of Commons INDIVIDUAL MEMBER’S EXPENDITURES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2008-2009 OCTOBER 2009 Introduction The Speaker of the House of Commons, on behalf of the Board of Internal Economy (BOIE), tables the consolidated Individual Member’s Expenditures report on an annual basis pursuant to BOIE By-laws. The tabling of the consolidated Individual Member’s Expenditures report coincides with the tabling of the Public Accounts of Canada. Prior to tabling, Members receive a copy of their Individual Member’s Expenditures report for review and validation. In this report, fiscal year 2008-2009 expenditures cover both the 39th and 40th Parliaments as follows: 6 ½ months (April 1, 2008 to October 13, 2008) for Members of the 39th Parliament who did not return to the 40th Parliament, 5 ½ months (October 14, 2008 to March 31, 2009) for new Members elected to the 40th Parliament, and 12 months (April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009) for Members re-elected to the 40th Parliament. Seats identified as "vacant" followed by the constituency name are overseen by the former Member’s Party Whip, or by the Speaker in the case of an independent Member. This ensures that constituents continue to be served until the date of a general election or by-election. Prior to tabling, the reports for vacant seats are sent to the former Member’s Party Whip or to the Speaker, as the case may be. The individual Members’ expenditures are presented in two categories: Member’s Office Budget (MOB) and Goods and Services Provided by the House. The expenses reported are, to some extent, reflective of the characteristics of the constituency that each Member represents.
