The Speaker was Robert Franklin Sutherland. See also List of Canadian electoral districts 1903–1907 for a list of the ridings in this parliament.

[[Alberta]]/[[Saskatchewan]]

Alberta and Saskatchewan were established as Canadian provinces on 1 September 1905 from parts of what had formerly been the Northwest Territories. The old NWT electoral districts were not formally abolished until the 1907 redistribution, which took the provincial boundary into account. In the meantime, three by-elections were held in districts which straddled the new border.
