I already have links from EDID to the parliament pages, if you look at
http://cancan.waglo.com/dataface/district/24047 (Outremont)
you'll find a link to Mulcair:
http://webinfo.parl.gc.ca/MembersOfParliament/ProfileMP.aspx?Key=113956&Language=FI've had this up for a couple of weeks already. DB and code are all available.
The trick to get this was to search the parliament website for EDID and pull the response from there.
