The 2004 Canadian federal election ( more formally , the 38th General Election ) , was held on June 28 , 2004 , to elect members of the House of Commons of Canada of the 38th Parliament of Canada . The Liberal government of Prime Minister Paul Martin lost its majority , but was able to form a minority government after the elections . The main opposition party , the newly amalgamated Conservative Party of Canada , improved its position but with a showing below its expectations . On May 23 , 2004 , Governor General Adrienne Clarkson , on the advice of Martin , ordered the dissolution of the House of Commons . Following a 36-day campaign , voters elected 308 Members of the House of Commons . All three major national parties had changed their leaders since the 2000 election . Earlier the election was widely expected to be a relatively easy romp for Martin to a fourth consecutive Liberal majority government , but early in 2004 Liberal popularity fell sharply due to the sponsorship scandal . Polls started to indicate the possibility of a minority government for the Liberals , or even a minority Conservative government , fuelling speculation of coalitions with the other parties . In the end , the Liberals fared better than the final opinion polls had led them to fear , but well short of a majority . On election day , polling times were arranged to allow results from most provinces to be announced more or less simultaneously , with the exception of Atlantic Canada , whose results were known before the close of polling in other provinces due to the British Columbia Supreme Court 's decision in R v Bryan .

The election resulted in a minority government led by the Conservative Party with Stephen Harper becoming the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada . By proportion of seats , this was Canada 's smallest minority government since Confederation . Despite this , it was the longest-serving minority government overall . Voter turnout was 64.7% . Elections Canada later investigated improper election spending by the Conservative Party , which became widely known as the In and Out scandal . In 2011 , charges against senior Conservatives were dropped in a plea deal that saw the party and its fundraising arm plead guilty and receive the maximum possible fines , totaling $ 52,000 .
