28th Canadian Parliament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 and the 20th Canadian Ministry. 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.
