The 34th Canadian Parliament was in session from December 12, 1988, until September 8, 1993. The membership was set by the 1988 federal election on November 21, 1988, and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and by-elections until it was dissolved prior to the 1993 election.

There were three sessions of the 34th Parliament:

The official opposition was the Liberal Party, led first by John Turner, and after 1990, by Jean Chrétien.

Major events

Failure of the Meech Lake Accord

Beginning in the mid 80s, The Canadian government held a series of talks in hopes of convincing the province of Quebec to sign onto the Canadian Constitution. The government's proposal consisted of two major proposals. The first allowed for recognition of Quebec as a “distinct society" within Canada. The second gave additional powers to the provinces. It would allow them to opt out of federal programs if they had an equivalent program provincially and gave them some responsibilities for selecting members of the senate and supreme court.[1]

Though the accord was initial popular, its support waned and eventually both Manitoba and Newfoundland failed to ratify it in their provincial legislatures. In Manitoba, MLA Elijah Harper, a member of the Cree Nation refused to give the necessary consent to bring the accord forward for debate. Harper cited Canada's failure to bring Aboriginal people into the country's political process as the source of his objection.[2] Seeing that Manitoba had stalled in its ratification process, Newfoundland premiere Clyde Wells took the opportunity to discard the accord, which he had never liked.[3]

Formation of the Bloc Québécois

After the failure of the Meech Lake Accord, MP Lucien Bouchard left the Progressive Conservative caucus to form his own party. Throughout 1990, he was joined by five Progressive Conservative MPs (Gilbert Chartrand, François Guérin, Nic Leblanc, Louis Plamondon and Benoît Tremblay) and two Liberal MP (Jean Lapierre, Gilles Rocheleau). Gilles Duceppe was elected to the party in a by-election in Laurier–Sainte-Marie on August 13th 1990. In total, the party had ten members at the dissolution of the 34th parliament.[4]
