# Hansard Implementation - Week 1 Complete ✅ **Date**: 2025-11-06 **Status**: Week 1 Critical Infrastructure Fixes Complete **Progress**: 6 of 6 tasks complete (100%) --- ## Overview Week 1 focused on fixing critical relationship issues that were blocking Hansard functionality. All tasks have been successfully completed, with 100% match rates for ID mapping and successful relationship creation. --- ## Completed Tasks ### ✅ Task 1.1: Politician ID Mapping **File**: `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/map_politician_ids.py` **Problem**: Statement.politician_id (OpenParliament ID) didn't match Neo4j MP nodes **Solution**: - Created mapping script to match PostgreSQL politicians to Neo4j MPs by slug - Added `openparliament_politician_id` property to all 455 MP nodes - **Result**: 100% match rate (455/455 MPs mapped) **Verification**: ```cypher MATCH (mp:MP {name: 'Pierre Poilievre'}) RETURN mp.openparliament_politician_id // Returns: 233 ``` --- ### ✅ Task 1.2: Bill ID Mapping **File**: `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/map_bill_ids.py` **Problem**: Statement.bill_debated_id (OpenParliament ID) didn't match Neo4j Bill nodes **Solution**: - Created mapping script to match PostgreSQL bills to Neo4j Bills by number + session - Added `openparliament_bill_id` property to all Bill nodes - **Result**: 99.9% match rate (5,391/5,398 Bills mapped) **Details**: - Total Bill Keys in PostgreSQL: 9,922 - Successfully Matched: 5,391 - Unmatched: 7 (edge cases with A/B suffixes) - Ambiguous: 1,303 (same bill number across sessions - expected) **Verification**: ```cypher MATCH (b:Bill {number: 'C-12', session: '45-1'}) RETURN b.openparliament_bill_id // Returns: 10327 ``` --- ### ✅ Task 1.3: Fixed Statement→MP Relationships **File**: `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/packages/data-pipeline/fedmcp_pipeline/ingest/hansard.py` **Function**: `link_statements_to_mps()` **Changes**: - Updated Cypher query to match using `mp.openparliament_politician_id = s.politician_id` - Changed node label from `Politician` to `MP` - Added proper documentation **Results** (on existing 25K statements): - Created **18,253 MADE_BY relationships** - Coverage: **100%** (18,253/18,253 statements with politician_id) - Processing time: ~15 seconds for 25K statements **Sample Query**: ```cypher MATCH (mp:MP {name: 'Pierre Poilievre'})<-[:MADE_BY]-(s:Statement) RETURN s.time, s.h2_en, s.wordcount ORDER BY s.time DESC LIMIT 5 // Returns 5 recent speeches with context and word counts ``` --- ### ✅ Task 1.4: Fixed Statement→Bill Relationships **File**: `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/packages/data-pipeline/fedmcp_pipeline/ingest/hansard.py` **Function**: `link_statements_to_bills()` **Changes**: - Updated Cypher query to match using `b.openparliament_bill_id = s.bill_debated_id` - Added `debate_stage` property to MENTIONS relationship - Added proper documentation **Results** (on existing 25K statements): - Created **2,113 MENTIONS relationships** - Coverage: **88.6%** (2,113/2,386 statements with bill_debated_id) - Processing time: ~8 seconds for 25K statements - Note: 11.4% not matched because bills don't exist in Neo4j (older bills not imported) **Sample Query**: ```cypher MATCH (b:Bill {number: 'C-12', session: '45-1'})<-[r:MENTIONS]-(s:Statement) RETURN s.time, r.debate_stage, s.wordcount ORDER BY s.time LIMIT 5 // Returns debate statements with reading stages ``` --- ### ✅ Task 1.5: Data Quality Cleanup Utilities **File**: `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/packages/data-pipeline/fedmcp_pipeline/ingest/hansard.py` **Added Functions**: 1. **`is_valid_date(date_value)`** - Filters corrupted dates (year 4043, etc.) 2. **`strip_html_tags(text)`** - Removes HTML while preserving formatting 3. **`sanitize_statement_content(statement_data)`** - Complete data sanitization **Features**: - Removes all HTML tags from content - Preserves paragraph breaks as double newlines - Decodes HTML entities (`&amp;`, `&lt;`, etc.) - Validates dates (filters year > 3000) - Cleans excessive whitespace - Applied automatically during import **Before**: ``` "<p>Mr. Speaker, <strong>this is important</strong>.</p>" ``` **After**: ``` "Mr. Speaker, this is important." ``` --- ### ✅ Task 1.6: Relationship Creation Testing **File**: `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/test_hansard_relationships.py` **Test Results**: ``` ================================================================================ HANSARD RELATIONSHIP CREATION TEST ================================================================================ Current State: - Total Statements: 25,000 - Statements with politician_id: 18,253 - Statements with bill_debated_id: 2,386 - Existing MADE_BY relationships: 0 - Existing MENTIONS relationships: 0 After Relationship Creation: - MADE_BY relationships: 18,253 (100.0% coverage) - MENTIONS relationships: 2,113 (88.6% coverage) Verification: ✅ Pierre Poilievre's speeches linked correctly ✅ Bill C-12 debates linked with reading stages ✅ All relationships working as expected ``` --- ## Database State ### Current Neo4j Contents **Nodes**: -

Maps OpenParliament politician IDs to Neo4j MPs - 100% match rate, handles duplicates 2. `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/map_bill_ids.py` (264 lines) - Maps OpenParliament bill IDs to Neo4j Bills - 99.9% match rate, handles ambiguous matches 3. `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/test_hansard_relationships.py` (190 lines) - Tests relationship creation - Validates coverage and data quality ### Modified Files 1. `/Users/matthewdufresne/FedMCP/packages/data-pipeline/fedmcp_pipeline/ingest/hansard.py` - Added data quality utilities (3 functions, 100 lines) - Fixed `link_statements_to_mps()` function - Fixed `link_statements_to_bills()` function - Integrated sanitization into import pipeline --- ## Performance Metrics ### Relationship Creation Speed - **MADE_BY**: 18,253 relationships in 15 seconds = ~1,217 rel/sec - **MENTIONS**: 2,113 relationships in 8 seconds = ~264 rel/sec - **Batch size**: 5,000 statements per batch - **Scalability**: Linear scaling expected for larger datasets ### Data Quality - **Invalid dates filtered**: 9 statements (year 4043) - **HTML tags stripped**: All content cleaned - **Entities decoded**: All HTML entities converted - **Coverage**: 100% for MP relationships, 88.6% for Bill relationships --- ## What's Working Now ### ✅ Core Functionality 1. **MP Speeches**: Can query any MP's speeches by name 2. **Bill Debates**: Can query debates for any bill by number + session 3. **Full-text Search**: Can search all Hansard content in English and French 4. **Context**: Speeches include document type, headers, timestamps 5. **Relationships**: All relationships working with proper filtering ### ✅ Data Quality 1. **Clean Content**: No HTML tags in display text 2. **Valid Dates**: Corrupted dates filtered out 3. **Proper Formatting**: Line breaks preserved, whitespace cleaned 4. **Complete Metadata**: All headers, speakers, stages preserved ### ✅ Ready for Scale 1. **Batch Processing**: Handles large datasets efficiently 2. **Incremental Loading**: Can add new statements without duplicates 3. **Relationship Idempotency**: Re-running creates no duplicates (MERGE) 4. **Performance**: Fast enough for 400K+ statement import --- ## Next Steps (Week 2+) ### Immediate (Week 2) 1. **Import 2023-present data** (~400K statements) - Estimated time: 40-60 minutes - Will create ~350K MADE_BY and ~50K MENTIONS relationships - Run: `python import_2023_present_hansard.py` 2. **Update GraphQL Schema** - Add Statement and Document types - Add custom queries (mpSpeeches, billDebates, searchHansard) - Generate frontend TypeScript types - File: `packages/graph-api/src/schema.ts` 3. **Create Frontend Components** - `<StatementCard>` - Display individual speeches - `<StatementList>` - Paginated speech listings - `<DebateTimeline>` - Visual timeline for bill debates - Directory: `packages/frontend/src/components/hansard/` ### Week 3 4. **MP Page Integration** - Add "Speeches" tab to MP detail page - Show recent 20 speeches with infinite scroll - Filter by document type (Debates vs Committee) - File: `packages/frontend/src/app/mps/[id]/page.tsx` 5. **Bill Page Integration** - Add "Debates" section to Bill detail page - Group speeches by reading stage - Show top speakers and key quotes - File: `packages/frontend/src/app/bills/[session]/[number]/page.tsx` ### Week 4+ 6. **Committee Pages** (new) 7. **Hansard Search Page** (new) 8. **Analytics Dashboard** 9. **AI Features** (summarization, key quotes) 10. **Visualizations** (word clouds, timelines) --- ## Success Metrics ### Week 1 Goals ✅ - [x] 100% MP ID mapping - [x] 99%+ Bill ID mapping - [x] All relationships working - [x] Data quality cleanup in place - [x] Sample data verified ### Week 2 Goals - [ ] 400K statements imported (2023-present) - [ ] GraphQL schema complete - [ ] Basic frontend components working - [ ] MP speeches tab functional ### Week 4 Goals (MVP) - [ ] All UI integrations complete - [ ] Search functional - [ ] Daily automated updates - [ ] Production-ready --- ## Technical Debt / Known Issues ### Minor Issues 1. **Bill matching**: 11.4% of bill references don't match (older bills not in Neo4j) - Impact: Low - mostly pre-2022 bills - Fix: Import older bills or mark as external references 2. **"The Chair" problem**: Committee chairs appear as top speakers - Impact: Low - can be filtered in queries - Fix: Add `is_chair_statement` flag or filter by politician_id IS NOT NULL 3. **Duplicate Jagmeet Singh**: ID 10636 (with slug) vs ID 8714 (without) - Impact: None - using most recent ID - Fix: Document as known PostgreSQL data quirk ### Future Enhancements 1. **French language UI support**: Currently English-only frontend 2. **Real-time updates**: Currently batch imports only 3. **Advanced search**: Add filters for date range, MP, committee, etc. 4. **Performance optimization**: Consider Elasticsearch for full-text search at scale --- ## Lessons Learned ### What Worked Well ✅ 1. **ID mapping approach**: Using slugs for matching was 100% effective 2. **Batch processing**: UNWIND queries handle large datasets efficiently 3. **Data sanitization**: HTML stripping preserves readability 4. **Incremental testing**: Testing on 25K sample before full import caught issues early ### What to Improve 1. **Documentation**: Need better inline comments for complex Cypher queries 2. **Error handling**: Add retry logic for transient Neo4j errors 3. **Progress tracking**: Add ETA estimates for long-running imports 4. **Validation**: Add more comprehensive data quality checks --- ## Resources ### Documentation -
