The Progressive Conservative Party finished second with twenty seats, a net loss of 4 from 1999. The Liberal Party won two seats, a net gain of one from the previous election.

An article in The Globe and Mail attributed the NDP's strong performance to premier Doer's tenure, where he was seen as having "delivered a reasonable economic performance and a steady stream of budget surpluses." [1]
