Do civil servants frequently serve in parliament where you're from? In my country, you're proscribed from running in any significant elections (state legislature/national legislature) if you're a serving civil servant. I may be wrong, but I presumed that was the case more places than not. I know that it is the case in Britain, which may be relevant to Canada. (An office of profit under the crown disqualifies one from parliament).
