It was controlled by a Liberal Party minority led by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and the 20th Canadian Ministry, with the support of David Lewis's New Democratic Party. The Official Opposition was the Progressive Conservative Party, led by Robert Stanfield.

The Speaker was Lucien Lamoureux. See also List of Canadian electoral districts 1966-1976 for a list of the ridings in this parliament.

The government lost the confidence of the house when finance minister John Turner's budget was defeated by a vote of 137 – 123[1] in 1974, prompting the prime minister to seek dissolution of parliament for the next election.

There were two sessions of the 29th Parliament:
