| 39th Canadian federal election | Although law requires only that the 39th general election must be held by 2009, there is emerging certainty that a federal election to elect members of the Canadian House of Commons will be held in Canada no later than early 2006. Recent political events, most notably testimony from the Gomery Commission investigating the sponsorship scandal, may have weakened the governing Liberals by alleging widespread corruption and criminal behaviour in the party. In a televised speech on April 21, Prime Minister Paul Martin promised to call an election within 30 days of the Gomery Commission’s final report. This would result in an election date between mid-March and early May, 2006. (references) | ||
| 39th Canadian parliament | The 39th Canadian parliament will be formed after the 39th Canadian federal election, which will be held after the dissolution of the 38th Canadian parliament. The next election is not required to be held until 2009, but there is a good chance it will be held sooner since the 38th Canadian federal election resulted in a minority government.
