Description
To determine the types of experiences that members of parliament face both in office and after leaving public life, the Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians (CAFP) surveyed their membership. The following article is a brief summary of some of the results of the survey. The CAFP hope that the results of this survey will increase the public's understanding about the problems facing members of parliament both during their service and after they leave office. It is hardly novel to comment on the low level of confidence the public has in political institutions. Political parties, parliament and the public service have all suffered the same loss of esteem in the eyes of the public. Of course public institutions are not the sole focus of citizen disenchantment. Large corporations are held in almost equal distrust, but citizens seem more accepting of these latter organizations, perhaps as they correctly feel that branches of the state should be more accountable to citizen demands for both performance and reform.(1)
