Topic 03 · CIJA and Parliament · A node analysis

One organization, 61 chart-listed MPs, and six reported policy aims. This map structures the claims in Davide Mastracci’s October 5, 2026 article for The Maple.

The chart lists each MP’s constituency, province, party and lobbying count as displayed on September 29, 2026. The article warns that registry posting delays may make the counts incomplete.

Road 03

Repeat-contact frequency

How many chart-listed MP nodes appear at each “times lobbied” count. The bars count people, not lobbying entries; they describe the chart only and do not indicate influence or agreement.

Road 04

Counts by party and province

These totals are calculated from the chart’s listed MP nodes and “times lobbied” values. No party or province seat totals are supplied, so these are raw counts—not per-MP rates.

Raw counts from the chart; no denominators.

What this node map does not show

Keep the reported connection separate from claims about political effect.

Contact ≠ agreement

A lobbying meeting is not evidence that an MP accepted the request or changed a position.

Aim ≠ outcome

The article identifies goals; the supplied text does not establish whether they were adopted or implemented.

Listing ≠ agreement

A listed contact does not establish that an MP agreed with CIJA, shared its aims, or changed a position.

Chart count ≠ complete history

The article notes delays between lobbying and registry publication, so its September 29 review may undercount contacts.
