Women in the 45th Canadian Parliament

See also: Women in Canadian politics

The 45th Canadian Parliament has a record number of women Members of Parliament, with 104 women elected to the 343-member House of Commons of Canada (30.3%) in the 2021 election. Due to six more seats the number of women as a percentage is slightly down. ^[1] Of those 104 women, 38 were elected for the first time in the 2025 election. This represents a gain of one seat over the previous record of 103 women elected at the beginning of the 44th Canadian Parliament.

By contrast, the 119th United States Congress had 125 elected women sitting in the 435-seat United States House of Representatives (28.7%). ^[2]
