19th parliamentary term of the Parliament of Canada
William Lyon Mackenzie King
was Prime Minister during the 18th Canadian Parliament.
The
19th Canadian Parliament
was in session from 16 May 1940, until 16 April 1945. The membership was set by the
1940 federal election
on 26 March 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
