    Because there’s a profit to be made.

    Every penny of yours isn’t theirs yet, so their work isn’t done.

        Those percentages are pretty low. What does “involvement” mean?

          The source I included above says this:

          We have gone through these disclosures and identified which political representatives, and/or their spouses/common-law partners/dependents, fit into one or more of the following categories: 1) disclose residential rental property that they earn an income from; 2) disclose residential rental property without disclosing any income; 3) disclose non-residential property (vacant lots, farmland, etc.); 4) disclose some sort of other involvement in real estate (for example as a real estate agent, or with investments in real estate investment trusts).

          So 128 MPs have some sort of involvement in real estate.
