Photos and highlights from the 2013 POTYs

Members of Parliament voted. Ipsos Reid tallied the numbers. And 2013’s best of the best emerged. Maclean’s and L’actualité named seven parliamentarians who accomplished an outstanding feat—they got colleagues from across party lines to, yes, vote for them. Indeed, they couldn’t win without impressing some of their fiercest opponents in the House of Commons. Tonight, we present the winners. Welcome to our live coverage. Follow along. The party starts at 6 p.m. The awards are handed out about an hour hence.
