The initial seat distribution of the 26th Canadian Parliament
The 26th Canadian Parliament was in session from May 16, 1963, until September 8, 1965. The membership was set by the 1963 federal election on April 8, 1963, and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and by-elections until it was dissolved prior to the 1965 election.
It was controlled by a Liberal Party minority under Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson and the 19th Canadian Ministry. The Official Opposition was the Progressive Conservative Party, led by John Diefenbaker.
The Speaker was Alan Macnaughton. See also List of Canadian electoral districts 1952-1966 for a list of the ridings in this parliament.
There were three sessions of the 26th Parliament:
| Session | Start | End |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | May 16, 1963 | December 21, 1963 |
| 2nd | February 18, 1964 | April 3, 1965 |
