8th Parliament of Ontario

The 8th Legislative Assembly of Ontario was in session from June 26, 1894 until January 28, 1898, just prior to the 1898 general election. The majority party was the Ontario Liberal Party led by Oliver Mowat. Arthur Sturgis Hardy succeeded Mowat as Premier in 1896 after Mowat entered federal politics.
