Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister during the 30th Canadian Parliament.

The 30th Canadian Parliament was in session from September 30, 1974, until March 26, 1979. The membership was set by the 1974 election on July 8, 1974, and was only changed somewhat due to resignations and by-elections before it was dissolved prior to the 1979 election.

There were four sessions of the 30th Parliament:

Major events

The Criminal Law Amendment Act

The Criminal Law Amendment Act decriminalized contraception and made abortion legal in situations where a pregnancy was considered a threat to a woman's life or health. The procedure for obtaining an abortion under the act was quite strict, requiring approval from a hospital's Therapeutic Abortion Committee and no less than three doctors. ^[2]
