The weekend decline for Parliament is rough but I guess November is a fairly weak month for tourism which I assume would have some impact on that station in particular.
Parliament and Lyon are in the central business district, which is dead on weekends. Even during peak tourism, I doubt those numbers would be much higher, with tourists likely to just walk (if already downtown, faster to walk than go in and out of the subway for one stop) or drive (if staying at a hotel outside downtown).

Not counting stations with extremely low ridership numbers, Rideau's numbers are solid even through the weekend as the most complete urban location. Lees, which serves high-rises with a high student population is also quite high, as well as St. Laurent, a major transfer station in the urban east-end (wide mix of income levels). All three maintain roughly 50% of their ridership over the weekend.
