As our government becomes more and more polarized, what can we do to ensure that facts and data hold out?

I'm not suggesting that lying should be illegal (in fact, it's often unintentional), but when an MPs statement can later be proven to be false, shouldn't they be forced to publicly apologize?

The truth shouldn't be political.

I would go after non answers first, that's what they do the most during the question period. If the speaker started throwing out MPs who don't answer the questions they're being asked you would see shit start to improve real quick.
