The Supreme Court in Canada ruled that an elected representative in Canada has 'no legal duty' to their constituents.

J. WILTON LITTLECHILD M.P. v. Citizens of Canada Docket No. 9012000725

10TH December, A.D. 1990

“I know of no legal duty on an elected representative at any level of government to consult with his constituents or determine their views. While such an obligation may generally be considered desirable, there is no legal requirement. I adopt the quotation from the trial in the Roman Corporation case, where he said:”

Roman Corp. v. Hudson’s Bay Oil & Gas Co., [1973] S.C.R. 820

Date: 1973-05-07

“It is of the essence of our parliament system of government that our elected representatives should be able to perform their duties courageously and resolutely in what they consider to be the best interests of Canada, free from any worry of being called to account anywhere except in parliament.”
