Member of Parliament
Following her husband's death, Cadman endorsed New Democratic Party candidate Penny Priddy in the 2006 election. Priddy had been friendly with the Cadmans for many years, despite their sharp political differences.
Priddy went on to win, but retired after only one term. Cadman, who had by this time reconciled with the Conservatives, ran for the seat and won it narrowly, becoming a government backbencher. She was narrowly defeated in 2011 by New Democrat Jasbir Sandhu.

Famous quotes containing the words member of, member and/or parliament:
“If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.”
—Bible: New Testament, Philippians 3:4-6.
“Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.”
—Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac (1619–1655)
“Undershaft: Alcohol is a very necessary article. It heals the sick—Barbara: It does nothing of the sort. Undershaft: Well, it assists the doctor: that is perhaps a less questionable way of putting it. It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
