Monday's election saw the defeat of more than 15-hundred candidates -- 49 of whom were incumbents.
Now, a group of ex-parliamentarians wants to help those former MPs figure out where to sit next.
Not only do they lose a job and social standing, but cellphones and email logins are cut off, they are expected to move out of two or more offices quickly and piles of paperwork and case files need to be archived or shredded.
The Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians is launching the first-ever formal mentorship program for outgoing MPs, linking newly defeated members with former parliamentarians to offer support.
It's also working with the House of Commons to improve provisions and career transition services.
