Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister during the 29th Canadian Parliament.

The 29th Canadian Parliament was in session from January 4, 1973, until May 9, 1974. The membership was set by the 1972 federal election on October 30, 1972, and it was dissolved prior to the 1974 election. It was controlled by a Liberal Party minority led by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and the 20th Canadian Ministry, with the support of David Lewis's New Democratic Party. The Official Opposition was the Progressive Conservative Party, led by Robert Stanfield. The Speaker was Lucien Lamoureux.

Contents

The government lost the confidence of the house in 1974 when finance minister John Turner's budget was defeated by a vote of 137 to 123, [1] prompting the prime minister to seek dissolution of parliament for the next election.

There were two sessions of the 29th Parliament. The first was from January 4, 1973, to February 26, 1974, and the second was from February 27 to May 9, 1974.
