The '12th Canadian Parliament' was in session from

1917. The membership was set by the
1911 federal election on
September 21,
1911, and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and
by-elections until it was dissolved prior to the
1917 election. At 5 years, 10 months and 22 days, it was the longest parliament in Canadian history. The parliament was extended beyond the normal limit of five years by the
British North America Act, 1916 as a result of
World War I.

Conscription Crisis of 1917. At the end of the parliament a new ministry, the
Union Government formed by Borden as a wartime
coalition government including Liberals. Laurier refused to join and those Liberals who supported Borden took the name
Liberal Unionists. the Union Government went on to win the
1917 federal election.
