search_debates
ActiveTool of openparliament-ca
declared in 0.1.0
List Hansard speeches (debate contributions) by a specific MP and/or party, optionally within a date range. Returns who spoke, when, and the speech text. IMPORTANT: the OpenParliament API has NO free-text/topic search — you must filter by `politician` (MP slug; find one via list_politicians) and/or `party`. There is no way to search debates by subject keyword.
