   Curious if anyone is taking
http://webinfo.parl.gc.ca/MembersOfParliament/MainCandidatesCompleteList.aspx?TimePeriod=Current&Language=E
and turning it into a database?  I'm otherwise going to spend some time 
on it.

   The link to the riding has the electoral district in the resulting 
page (as part of the link to elections Canada)

   The link to the winning candidates points to full information for 
those who are incumbents (email, websites, etc).
