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, 1965, and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and by-elections until it was dissolved prior to the 1968 election.

There were two sessions of the 27th Parliament:

Session	Start	End
1st	January 18, 1966	May 8, 1967
2nd	May 8, 1967	April 23, 1968[1]

Overview

It was controlled by a Liberal Party minority under Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson and the 19th Canadian Ministry. Pierre Trudeau succeeded Pearson as party leader and Prime Minister shortly before this Parliament ended for the 1968 national election.

The Official Opposition was the Progressive Conservative Party, led first by John Diefenbaker, and subsequently by Michael Starr as interim leader until the election of Robert Stanfield as Progressive Conservative party leader.

Most of the MPs were elected as the single member for their district. Two represented Queen's (PEI) and two represented Halifax.
