At the urging of the NDP, the Parliamentary website is now offering details on MP voting records.

Usability is horrible; all the more so for people with screen readers.

They publish the list of votes in XML, instead of an RSS feed.

It's a sign of openness though; maybe one day we'll see Hansards
published as XML? They are stored that way (or generated before being
transformed to HTML), so it would cost next to nothing to do so.

Yup it ain't perfect but is a start, and it takes you to the bill.

Wonder who was briefing MP Libby Davies?
