The initial seat distribution of the
19th Canadian Parliament
The
19th Canadian Parliament was in session from
May 16,
1940 until
April 16,
1945. The
membership was set by the
1940 federal election on
March 26,
1940, and it
changed only somewhat due to resignations and
by-elections until it was dissolved prior to
the
1945
election.
It was controlled by a
Liberal
Party majority under
Prime
Minister William Lyon
Mackenzie King and the
16th
Canadian Ministry. The
Official Opposition was the
so-called "
National
Government" party (the name which the
Conservatives) ran under in the
1940 election, led in the House by
Richard Hanson and
Gordon Graydon consecutively as the three
successive national leaders of the party,
Robert Manion,
Arthur Meighen and
John Bracken did not have seats in the House of
Commons. With the selection of Bracken as national leader in
December 1942, the party became known as the
Progressive Conservatives.
The
Speaker
was
James Allison Glen. See also
