24th Canadian Parliament
The 24th Canadian Parliament was in session from May 12, 1958, until April 19, 1962. The membership was set by the 1958 federal election on March 31, 1958, and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and by-elections until it was dissolved prior to the 1962 election.

By-elections
gollark: <@215232595070418944> If you want it to work on older versions, it may just let you specify the host header if you use the other form which allows adding custom headers.
