Immigration: Parliament Hill

Buying Furniture Dept: Dozens of newly elected members of Parliament are setting up shop in their constituencies. Many among them are hunting for office space, buying furniture and connecting phone lines - and quickly, too, according to Montreal Gazette. "Even if they're not the prettiest spaces, they're probably the hardestworking spaces in our political system," said Peter MacLeod, a public engagement expert in Toronto whose doctoral research in 2004 looked at the function of constituency offices. "Most people never get to Ottawa and sit in the public gallery." The new kids on the block are shopping for real estate ... away from Parliament Hill. These offices are often the first point of contact for Canadians seeking help with government services and the place where MPs will spend a lot of time when they aren't sitting in the House. As reported in the news.
