How did voting work? Ipsos Reid asked all members of Parliament to nominate the best MPs in each of seven categories. MPs cast votes for members both in and outside their parties. The votes were converted to a point system to ensure that larger parties did not have an advantage. The MP who received the most points in each category won. The MP who earned the highest number of total points was named Parliamentarian of the Year.

If I'm reading that correctly, then votes for a parliamentarian from a party with fewer elected MPs count for proportionally more than votes for an MP from a larger party. Since there is only one Green Party MP, she probably received a huge handicap bonus. I'd like to see the exact formula they used to convert votes to points to see just how much of an advantage she had.
