15th Parliament of Sainte Genevieve

The 15th Parliament of Sainte Genevieve convened at 9:30am on Wednesday, 1st September 2004. Elections for the Parliament were held about three weeks prior, on 10 August. The data for the 2000 Census remained in effect for purposes of constituencies and apportionment. Only minor changes to electoral boundaries were made, mostly between neighborhoods and suburbs in County Rossport's five electoral districts.

The Social Democrat Party remained the most represented party in Parliament, although the party suffered a net loss of five seats. The Social Democrat-Progressive coalition was joined by the Green Party, to create a narrow majority of 28 seats versus opposition's 21.

Parliament's first official duty was to choose a Speaker, and Social Democrat MP Grace Strasser, representing Rossport Central, was elected by a vote of 27-22. The most represented political party was then invited to form a State Council. SDP leader Phillip Dunigan did so, consisting of himself, four other Social Democrats, two Progressives and one Green. This State council was affirmed in Parliament at 4:45pm on 1st September, by a vote of 30-19, and was sworn in by President O'Hanlon immediately after.
