The 45th Canadian Parliament is the current legislative session of the Parliament of Canada, which began on May 26, 2025, with the membership of the House of Commons determined by the results of the 2025 federal election held on April 28.
Overview Canada's constitution mandates reviews of electoral divisions following each decennial census to reflect changes and movements in population. This parliament is the first one seated in accordance with the 2023 representation orders determined based on the 2021 census, which expanded the House of Commons by five seats (1 in British Columbia, 3 in Alberta, and 1 in Ontario).
The session was opened personally by Charles III, King of Canada, on May 27, 2025, during his first royal visit to Canada as King. This was the first time in over half a century that the reigning monarch opened parliament, since Elizabeth II did so for the 23rd Canadian Parliament in 1957, as well as the first time the sovereign had personally read the Speech from the Throne since Elizabeth II did so at the opening of the third session of the 30th Canadian Parliament in 1977. The legislative session commenced on May 26, 2025, with the unprecedented event of a prime minister taking a seat in parliament for the first time, and within a year became the first government to obtain a majority through party defections and by-elections.
