New list of MP's?

Russell McOrmond-3
  I'm wondering if anyone has already scraped election results and a
new MP list for the 41'st parliament?  Ideal is something with a flag
marking election vs re-election, so I can create relationships with
the existing MP40 database I have.

  There is a great file Elections Canada offers for the candidate list
-- anyone know if/when something similar, but with the results (votes,
percentage, etc) will be offered?

Note: the files at the bottom of
http://elections.ca/content.aspx?section=ele&dir=41ge/enr&document=index&lang=e
seem to be full of zero's at the moment.  This is the type of file I'm
looking for, but with actual numbers and not the zero's.

But remember that a couple of ridings are still pending recounts.

  Thank you.

  After importing that data, I ended up remembering what I did last
year.  I updated the php script I use to scrape:

http://www.parl.gc.ca/MembersOfParliament/MainCandidatesCompleteList.aspx?TimePeriod=Current&Language=E

  This has the "Elected" vs "Re-elected" and a way to determine
whether this is a rookie MP or someone who had been elected in the
past.

http://creform.ca/5335

Above article provides a link to the list of 108 rookie MP's, which is
kinda neat to check out.

  I'll likely make the data you pointed to available off my site for
people to look at later, given it is interesting to know the vote
percentages and information about the 2'nd place winner.
