28th Canadian Parliament

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The initial seat distribution of the 28th Canadian Parliament

Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister during the 28th Canadian Parliament; he is shown here being interviewed during the 28th Parliament's October Crisis.

The 28th Canadian Parliament was in session from September 12, 1968 until September 1, 1972. The membership was set by the 1968 federal election on June 25, 1968, and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and by-elections until it was dissolved prior to the 1972 election.

It was controlled by a Liberal Party majority under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. The Official Opposition was the Progressive Conservative Party led by Robert Stanfield.

The Speaker was Lucien Lamoureux. See also List of Canadian electoral districts 1966-1976 for a list of the ridings in this parliament.
