This was the first time in over half a century that the reigning monarch had opened parliament, since Elizabeth II did so for the 23rd Canadian Parliament in 1957, as well as the first time the sovereign had personally read the Speech from the Throne since Elizabeth II did so at the opening of the third session of the 30th Canadian Parliament in 1977. Its legislative session commenced on May 26, 2025, with the unprecedented event of a prime minister taking a seat in parliament for the first time.
