It was controlled by a Liberal Party majority under Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the 8th Canadian Ministry. The Official Opposition was the Conservative/Liberal-Conservative, led by Charles Tupper.

The Speaker was first James David Edgar, and later Thomas Bain. See also List of Canadian electoral districts 1892-1903 for a list of the ridings in this parliament.
