The 30th Canadian Parliament was in session from September 30, 1974, until March 26, 1979. The membership was set by the 1974 election on July 8, 1974, and was only changed somewhat due to resignations and by-elections before it was dissolved prior to the 1979 election.

There were four sessions of the 30th Parliament:

Overview

It was controlled by a Liberal Party majority led by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and the 20th Canadian Ministry. The Official Opposition was the Progressive Conservative Party, led first by Robert Stanfield, and then by Joe Clark.

The sessions were prorogued (reason unknown currently).

Queen Elizabeth II opened the 3rd session during her Silver Jubilee visit to Canada.

Major events

The Criminal Law Amendment Act

The Criminal Law Amendment Act decriminalized contraception and made abortion legal in situations where a pregnancy was considered a threat to a woman's life or health. The procedure for obtaining an abortion under the act was quite strict, requiring approval from a hospital's Therapeutic Abortion Committee and no less than three doctors.
