2004 Canadian federal election
A Canadian federal election will most likely be held in early 2004.
Canadian voters will elect a new House of Commons (the lower house of Parliament). If the currently governing Liberal Party of Canada wins neither a majority nor a plurality, the Governor General will invite the leader of the party that controls the most seats to form a new government. In the event of a tie, parliamentary tradition states that the party that had more seats in the last sitting will form government.
All four of the five major 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.
Most pundits are predicting that new Prime Minister Paul Martin will lead the Liberals to a fourth majority government, possibly setting a record for number of seats won. Opponents contend that the people of Canada do not yet know much about Martin, and also that the Conservative Party of Canada does not yet have a leader, which is one of the most crucial elements in any party.
Though this election will likely not be suspenseful as to who wins power, it may, however, create interest about which party, if any, can form a credible opposition.
Opposition parties
In recent months the New Democratic Party of Canada, Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, and Canadian Alliance have been running a distant second, third and fourth in the polls. Many pundits have been predicting 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.
Prior to the announcement of the union of the right-of-centre parties, many were predicting an NDP official opposition. A new leader, clear social democratic policies, and the possible collapse of the other opposition parties may allow the NDP to make breakthroughs in all the regions of the country.
While many predicted that the election of the strongly federalist Quebec Liberal Party under Jean Charest would give the Bloc Québécois (BQ) new purpose and assure it a place in the next parliament, the party continues to sink in the polls. The continued decline in support for sovereignty, an unpopular leader, the massive popularity of Paul Martin, the renewed presence of the NDP and possibly a united conservative/decentralist party in the province, threatens the official status of the BQ.

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.

The party's first interim leader is Senator John Lynch-Staunton, with a formal leadership race scheduled for March 2004.

- May 31 - Peter MacKay wins the Progressive Conservative leadership after forming a deal with leadership candidate David Orchard.

Despite winning both elections, these elections were very close, especially since in the 2000 election these seats were won by 15 000 and 14 000 votes respectively.
- August 21 - Prime Minister Jean Chrétien tells Canadians he will step down in February, 2004.
- June 2, 2002- Paul Martin resigns as Finance Minister of Canada. John Manley is named to replace him.
- May 13 - In seven by-elections across the country, the Liberal Party of Canada was re-elected in two ridings in Quebec, one in Newfoundland and Labrador, and one in Manitoba while they lost one to the NDP in Windsor West, where Brian Masse was elected, and one to the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, when Rex Barnes was elected. The leader of the Canadian Alliance, Stephen Harper won easily in Calgary Southwest replacing out-going former Reform Party of Canada leader Preston Manning.

2004 federal representation
Due to the 2001 census, Canada's 301 electoral districts will increase to 308. Boundary changes will take effect across the country to even out population redistribution, and seven new districts will be formed. Each province has a minimum amount of seats, and therefore it is rare for a province to lose seats in a redistribution. These changes still need to be passed by the House of Commons (as of December 12, 2003); they are expected to take effect in April 2004.
- Changes since last representation
- Ontario +3
- Alberta +2
- British Columbia +2
- Average population per seat (seats in 2004)
- Newfoundland and Labrador: 73,276 (7)
- Prince Edward Island: 33,824 (4)
- Nova Scotia: 82,546 (11)
- New Brunswick: 72,950 (10)
- Quebec: 96,500 (75)
- Ontario: 107,642 (106)
- Manitoba: 79,970 (14)
