PREFACE.
This new revised and enlarged edition of the Canadian Parliamentary Guide and Work of General Refer¬ ence has been somewhat delayed by reason of recent numerous general elections in Canada, but it has the ad¬ vantage of being brought up to the London and North Oxford bye-elections on June 13. Some of the errors which crept into the last edition have been corrected and if any others appear in this edition the Editor will be obliged to any person who would point them out so that an approach to perfection in the next edition may be attained. In this edition there are almost thirteen more pages than in the last and much useful information not easily accessible elsewhere will be found in the first twenty and the last four pages.

PARLIAMENT.

THE PARLIAMENT OF CANADA.
(1905.)
The Parliament of Canada consists of the Sovereign, the Senate and the House of Commons.
THE SOVEREIGN.
His Most Excellent Majesty, Edward VII., by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire¬ land and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India; born Nov. 9, 1841; succeeded to the Throne Jan. 22, 1901, on the death of his mother, Victoria.
THE SENATE.
The Senate, as at present constituted, consists of 83 members, 24 each from Ontario and Quebec, 10 each from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, 4 each from Prince Edward Island and Manitoba, 3 from British Columbia and 4 from the North-West Territories.
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The House of Commons, which is elected by the people for a maximum term of five years, consists of 214 members.
The number is fixed under the provisions of the Act of Confederation, and the representation is arranged after each decennial census, by Act of Parliament, the basis being that the Province of Quebec is always to have 65 representatives, and each of the other Provinces such a number as will give the same proportion of representatives to its population as the number 65 bears to the population of Quebec, as ascertained by the census. British Columbia, by the terms of the agreement made between the Dominion and Province prior to the union, is to have at least six members.
A Redistribution Bill, introduced by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, . March 31, 1903, provided for an increase in the membership of the House of Commons from 213 to 214, divided as follows: — *
Ontario
Quebec
86 — a loss of six 65 — no change
