8th Parliament of the Province of Canada
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP The 8th Parliament of the Province of Canada was in session from 1863 to July 1866. Elections for the Legislative Assembly were held in the Province of Canada in August 1863. Sessions were held in Quebec City until 1866; the last session was held in Ottawa.
The Speaker of this parliament was Lewis Wallbridge.
