| | | | | Abbotsford: Encyclopedia II - Canadian federal election, 2006 - Events during the 38th Parliament An early election seemed likely because the 2004 federal election, held on June 28, 2004, resulted in the election of a Liberal minority government. In the past, minority governments have had an average lifespan of a year and a half. Some people considered the 38th parliament to be particularly unstable. It involved four parties, and only very implausible ideological combinations (e.g., Liberals + Conservatives; Liberals + BQ; Conservatives + BQ + NDP) could actually command a majority of the seats, a necessity if a government is to retain p ...

| | | | | Abbotsford: Encyclopedia II - Canadian federal election, 2006 - Contenders Most observers believe only the Liberals and the Conservatives are capable of forming a government in this election, although Canadian political history is not without examples of wholly unexpected outcomes, such as Ontario's provincial election in 1990. Midway through the campaign, pollsters and pundits are split on the likely outcome, with most suggesting the race is too close to call at this point.
Prime Minister Paul Martin's Liberals hope to recapture their majority, although this appears unlikely at this point; it will require h ...

| | | | | Abbotsford: Encyclopedia II - Canadian federal election, 2006 - Candidates The election will involve the same 308 electoral districts as in 2004, except in New Brunswick, where the boundaries of Acadie—Bathurst were deemed illegal. Many of the candidates will also be the same: fewer incumbents chose to leave than if they had served a full term, and the parties have generally blocked challenges to sitting MPs for the duration of the minority government, although there have been some exceptions.
