Academic concerned as some MPs refuse to share mailouts for research purpose
“I don’t remember experiencing the amount of frustration that I did this time,” said Marland, whose latest round of research is being sent for peer review.
But many more pushed back than during the similar project a decade ago, and many ignored the requests. Some asked Marland to make the request through his own MP’s constituency office. Some offices send autoreplies to all emails, saying they prioritize constituents and requesting the person’s postal code.
Canada Post mails out householders for free and MPs can use their office budgets to send them more than four times a year, or to translate them into non-official languages. “These are not being funded by only the constituents in the riding; these are being funded by Parliament as a whole,” Marland said.He said the Board of Internal Economy, a powerful committee of eight MP who work with the Speaker to decide on rules and office budgets, should improve transparency, such as through a public, online repository of householders.
