Welcome to the Transparency & Accountability Project

About

At the heart of the Transparency & Accountability Project is our commitment to openness. The Institute for Freedom and Justice developed this service because we believe that every Canadian has the right to know what their elected representatives are doing — from voting records and speeches to policy proposals and financial disclosures. By compiling this information into one centralized platform, we make it easier than ever for you to stay informed, hold your politicians accountable, and participate meaningfully in the democratic process. Whether you’re a student, a concerned citizen, a journalist, or a community leader, our platform equips you with the tools you need to understand who your representatives are, what they stand for, and how they are serving the public interest.

Our database is continuously updated with data from official government sources, parliamentary records, and independent watchdog organizations. This ensures that the information you access is current, accurate, and comprehensive. Want to see how your MP voted on a recent bill? Curious about the speeches they delivered in the House of Commons or the Senate? Looking for details on their financial disclosures or constituency activities? Our platform makes it straightforward to find this information with just a few clicks. We believe that transparency is the foundation of accountability, and accountability is essential for a healthy democracy.
