Members’ Snapshot

Constituents elect Members of Parliament to represent them in the House of Commons. Members bring their diverse backgrounds and points of view to the House, allowing for a better representation of the issues facing different groups across Canada.

Constituencies

Each of Canada’s 343 constituencies (also called ridings or electoral districts) have a representative in the House of Commons, called a “Member of Parliament” or “Member.” Members are the link between Parliament and Canadians. They share the views of their constituents in the House and support their constituents in the constituency office.

The number of electoral districts has been increased from 338 to 343 as a result of the Electoral Boundary Redistribution.

Every year, Members of Parliament and their employees process thousands of requests from constituents looking for help from the government. Members help constituents connect with programs and services, including:

  • Employment Insurance
  • Disability pension
  • Veteran support
  • Passports and immigration
