OTTAWA – It was 150 years ago today that Canada’s Parliament met for the first time.
On Nov. 6, 1867 the first meeting of the first Parliament of Canada was held in the House of Commons.
On Monday afternoon the occasion was feted by parliamentarians, including MPs, and current and former speakers and prime ministers. A consistent thread at a moment of reflection? Canada and its Parliament remain a work in progress.
