The full digitized historical federal Hansard, Senate and House of Commons, is now available online, browsable and searchable. Canadiana.org’s Historical Debates of the Parliament of Canada portal was launched today: http://parl.canadiana.ca/
The project has been in development for some time. It complements the content that has been available on parl.gc.ca (House: 1994 onward; Senate: 1996 onward), to create a full collection of digital federal Hansard.
New Historical Debates of Parliament of Canada portal : more than 1575 digitized volumes, totalling 1.6 M page images. #cndpoli #Hansard

Most importantly, Parliamenty Haiku will have more material to work with.
But seriously, this is fantastic news and long overdue.
