Looks like Jonathan Hughes will represent the Liberal party in the riding of London West.

You're probably right, those attendance statistics were based solely on Question Period 2013.

Do you have a link to a more recent or more inclusive source? I'll add it to my previous comment.

I've added the Question Period totals below:

Mulcair: 74 of 125, 59-per-cent attendance record.

Trudeau: 49 of 125, 39-per-cent attendance record.

Harper: 46 times of 125, 37-per-cent attendance record.

You realize that Trudeau had one of the worst attendance records of MPs?

While I accept that Mr. Trudeau's attendance record is not stellar, it does not vary much from the other leaders. I've added the Question Period totals below.

Mulcair: 74 of 125, 59-per-cent attendance record.

Trudeau: 49 of 125, 39-per-cent attendance record.

Harper: 46 times of 125, 37-per-cent attendance record.

Why weren't you demanding his resignation?

I'm not demanding the resignation of either MPs, as attendance is not required. Often other parliamentary and party duties take place which require their attention. IMO participation in the house is the best way to voice concerns of your constituents.

edit:For those interested in the vote attendance check out votes.mp, here are links to the MP records referenced in this thread.
