A federal election will take place on September 20, 2021, to elect members of the House of Commons to the 44th Canadian Parliament after Governor General Mary Simon dissolved Parliament on August 15, 2021 at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's request.^[2] A by-election in Haldimand-Norfolk was cancelled because of the election call.

Background

The 2019 federal election resulted in the Liberals, led by incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, losing their majority but winning the most seats. The Conservatives continued as the Official Opposition with Andrew Scheer temporarily remaining as Leader of the Opposition until announcing his resignation, triggering a leadership election.^[3]^[4] The Bloc Québécois became the third party. The New Democrats lost seats but maintained official party status and, although the Greens increased their seats in the House of Commons, they ultimately failed to achieve the required number of MPs—twelve—for official party status.

All leaders initially announced that they would continue as the heads of their respective parties into the next session of Parliament.^[5]^[6]^[7] However, Elizabeth May said that she may not lead the Greens into the 44th election, and she ultimately resigned as Green Party leader on November 4, 2019.^[8]^[9] On November 6, 2019, the Conservative caucus decided to not adopt a measure which would have given them the ability to remove Andrew Scheer as leader. His leadership would still have been reviewed during the party's April 2020 convention^[10]^[11] However, on December 12, Scheer announced his intention to resign as leader.^[12] He stayed on until his successor, Erin O'Toole, was chosen and remains as the MP for Regina—Qu'Appelle.^[13]^[14]

On August 15, 2021, after a request from Prime Minister Trudeau, Mary Simon dissolved parliament and called an election for September 20th.^[2]

In June 2020, the Leaders' Debates Commission released its report reviewing the 2019 election debates and making recommendations for future debates.^[76]^[77] The report recommended a permanent and publicly funded commission be tasked with organizing two debates every future election. It also called for the commission, not the government, to set the criteria for participation in future election debates.^[76]^[77]

Opinion polls

Notes

^ Though parties registered with Elections Canada can field candidates in any riding they wish, the Bloc Québécois has never fielded candidates outside of Quebec (78 seats). Thus they currently cannot gain a majority in parliament.
