Over 410 women have since served in the House. there are 104 female MPs, or 30.3% of the body, the highest in Canada's history. Thirty-seven of them were elected in the 2025 federal election. This represents a gain of one seat from the previous record of 103 women in the 44th Canadian Parliament, of whom 101 were elected in the 2021 federal election, followed by two more at subsequent by-elections in 2023 and 2024.
Women have been elected to the House of Commons from every province and territory in Canada.
Numbers and proportions are as they were directly after the relevant election and do not take into account by-elections, defections, or other changes in membership. Instead, women who were initially by-elected to their seats and later successful in holding them at a subsequent federal election are counted as having won the latter to serve full terms, if completed. "Others" include the Reform Party from 1988 to 1997, the Canadian Alliance only in 2000, Bloc Québécois since 1993, and the Greens since 2011.
