Shortly before the dissolution of the 20th Canadian Parliament,
Newfoundland joined Confederation as the tenth province. Unlike the case when the provinces such as
Manitoba,
British Columbia and
Prince Edward Island joined, by-elections were not called to fill the new province's seven seats.
Eighteen vacant seats were filled through
by-elections.
