From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By-elections to the 10th Canadian Parliament were held to elect members of the Canadian House of Commons between the 1904 federal election and the 1908 federal election . The Liberal Party of Canada led a majority government for the 10th Canadian Parliament .
The list includes Ministerial by-elections which occurred due to the requirement that Members of Parliament recontest their seats upon being appointed to Cabinet. These by-elections were almost always uncontested. This requirement was abolished in 1931.
