Canadian federal election, 2004

A Canadian federal election (also known as a general election) will most likely be held in 2004, although it could theoretically be delayed until as late as December 2005. The exact date is officially up to the Governor General, who formally has the sole power to dissolve Parliament but the Governor General usually carries out the wishes of the Prime Minister – failure to do so would create a constitutional crisis. At one point most pundits had expected an election in the late spring, but issues such as the inquiry into the sponsorship scandal may delay the call.

Canadian voters will elect a new House of Commons (the lower house of Parliament). If the currently governing Liberal Party of Canada does not win a majority of seats, the prime minister may resign and the Governor General would then invite the leader of a different party to form a new government. The prime minister is more likely, though, to continue governing as a minority government, perhaps through an alliance with another party.

All the major national parties will run under different leaders in this next election than the last, held in 2000. This election will also mark the debut of the new Conservative Party of Canada and the Progressive Canadian Party.

Paul Martin and the Liberals

Until the sponsorship scandal, most pundits were predicting that new Prime Minister Paul Martin would lead the Liberals to a fourth majority government, possibly setting a record for number of seats won. However, polls released immediately after it broke out showed Liberal support down as much as 10% nationwide, with greater declines in its heartland of Quebec and Ontario.

Opposition parties

Conservative Party of Canada

In the final months of 2003, the New Democrats, the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance were running a distant second, third and fourth, respectively, in public opinion polls.

Many pundits predicted that the combination of the popular and fiscally conservative Martin, along with continued vote-splitting on the right, could lead to the almost total annihilation of the Progressive Conservatives and Canadian Alliance. This fear has prompted those two parties to form a united Conservative Party of Canada, which was approved by the Canadian Alliance on December 5, 2003 and by the Progressive Conservatives on December 6, 2003.

The new Conservative Party has pulled ahead of the NDP in the most recent polls, although its support has been well below the combined support that the Progressive Conservatives and the Alliance had as separate parties. On March 20 the Conservatives elected Stephen Harper as its new leader.

New Democratic Party

Prior to the announcement of the union of the right-of-centre parties, some were predicting an NDP official opposition. A new leader (Jack Layton) and clear social democratic policies may revitalize the NDP. Polls suggest that the NDP has returned to the 18% to 20% level of support it enjoyed in the 1984 Canadian election and 1988 Canadian election.

Bloc Québécois

The Bloc Québécois (BQ) continued to slide in the polls in 2003 after the election of the strongly federalist Quebec Liberal Party under Jean Charest and during the long run-up to Paul Martin becoming leader of the federal Liberals. Support for sovereignty also continued to slide. However the Charest government rapidly became quite unpopular, and this, combined with the federal sponsorship scandal, led to a strong resurgence of the BQ, which moved up to 10 percentage points ahead of the federal Liberals in the polls in Quebec as of February and March 2004.

Timeline

2004

2003

  • December 9 - Canadian Senators Lowell Murray, Norman Atkins and William Doody are the first senators to decide not join the new Conservative Party of Canada, choosing to remain in the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada if the Speaker will let them. Also on December 9, Liberal leadership runner-up Sheila Copps refuses Prime Minister-designate Paul Martin's patronage appointment proposal for Copps. She will have to fight to retain her riding, as Canada's ridings have been redrawn, and she now shares it with MP Tony Valeri.
  • December 8 - The Conservative Party of Canada is officially registered with Elections Canada. The party's first interim leader is Senator John Lynch-Staunton, with a formal leadership race scheduled for March 2004. Three Progressive Conservative MPs (Joe Clark, John Herron and André Bachand) announce that they will not sit as members of the new party, but will serve out their terms as Independent Progressive Conservatives.
  • December 6 - The Progressive Conservative Party of Canada votes with a 90% majority in favour of merging with the Canadian Alliance.
  • December 5 - The Canadian Alliance votes with a 96% majority in favour of merging with the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
  • December 3 - Member of Parliament Robert Lanctôt announced he was quitting the Bloc Québécois and joining the Liberal Party of Canada saying to the press: "After dreaming about sovereignty for 40 years, I said to myself that dreaming is fine, but at a certain point you have to wake up." Also on December 3, Natural Resources Minister Herb Dhaliwal stated that he was not going to seek re-election.
  • November 28 - Liberal Party of Canada member John Manley announces his retirement from politics.
  • November 27 - Canadian Alliance Party leader Stephen Harper fires Alliance Member of Parliament Larry Spencer as Family Values Critic after his anti-gay remarks.
  • November 14 - Paul Martin officially becomes leader of the Liberal Party of Canada winning 3242 of 3455 votes against Sheila Copps.
  • October 15 - It was announced that the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party would plan to unite to form a new party called the Conservative Party of Canada.
  • September 9 - Ottawa Centre MP Mac Harb was called to the Senate of Canada leaving the seat vacant until the 2004 election. Ottawa lawyer Richard Mahoney will be the Liberals' representative for the riding in the up coming election.
  • June 16 - The Bloc Québécois lose two more seats, this time in by-elections as the Liberal Party of Canada's Christian Jobin replaces the out-going BQ Antoine Dubé in Lévis–Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, and the Liberals' Gilbert Barrette replaces the out-going BQ Pierre Brien in Témiscamingue.
  • May 31 - Peter MacKay wins the Progressive Conservative leadership after forming a deal with leadership candidate David Orchard. MacKay promised a review of the NAFTA free trade agreement, and also promised that no deal on electoral cooperation would be made with the Canadian Alliance, a promise he would later break.
  • May 12 - The Liberal Party of Canada loses another seat through by-elections, this time to the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada as Gary Schellenberger replaces John Alexander Richardson in the riding of Perth--Middlesex.
  • February 14 - Jim Harris is elected as the new leader of the Green Party of Canada.
  • February 5 - Pierrette Venne was suspended from the caucus of the Bloc Québécois, and on February 6 she would sit as an Independent member of the Bloc.
  • January 25 - Jack Layton is elected leader of the NDP at the party's convention in Toronto. Layton won on the first ballot, with 53.5% of the vote.

2004 federal representation

Due to the 2001 census, Canada's 301 electoral districts increased to 308 as of April 1 2004. Boundary changes took effect across the country to even out population redistribution, and seven new districts were formed. Each province has a minimum amount of seats, and therefore it is rare for a province to lose seats in a redistribution.
