Family Relations in the Canadian Houses of Parliament

Family Relations in the Canadian Houses of Parliament About Family Relations in the Canadian Houses of Parliament

Occasionally, politics can be a family affair. We are pleased to provide you with parents and children, siblings, and spouses who have served in the Canadian Houses of Parliament, from Confederation (1867) to the current Parliament.

You can search by name, party affiliation, and province or territory.

Because of the difficulty in tracing past parliamentarians' family relations and the inadequacies of printed sources the present listing may not be complete.

NOTE: The Senate and House of Commons Debates, Canadian Parliamentary Guides, Canadian Directory of Parliament and various biographical sources were used as source material.
