27th Canadian Parliament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 27th Canadian Parliament was in session from January 18, 1966 until April 23, 1968. The membership was set by the 1965 federal election on November 8, 1963, and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and by-elections until it was dissolved prior to the 1968 election.
It was controlled by a Liberal Party minority under Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson and the 19th Canadian Ministry. The Official Opposition was the Progressive Conservative Party, led first by John George Diefenbaker, and then by Michael Starr consecutivly.
The Speaker was Lucien Lamoureux. See also List of Canadian electoral districts 1952-1966 for a list of the ridings in this parliament.
