As Prime Minister, Harper spoke more than 4,200 separate times in the House of Commons. Throughout the 42nd Parliament’s 44 sitting days thus far, however, Harper has not said a single word in the House of Commons — a distinction shared only by Burnaby, B.C.’s Terry Beech and Angelo Iacono, MP for the Quebec riding of Alfred-Pellan.

In fact, the last time Harper’s voice hit the parliamentary record came on June 17, 2015 when, as Prime Minister, he told NDP leader Tom Mulcair that “Canadian veterans services under this government are the best in the world.”

Odder still, the former Prime Minister’s Parliamentary meekness has not been due to any lack of attendance.

Since the House first convened on December 3, the ex-Conservative leader has been racking up one of the best attendance records of his political career, turning out for 91 per cent of all House votes.
