The membership was set by the 1921 Federal Election on December 6 , 1921 , and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and By-elections until it was dissolved prior to the 1925 Election . It was controlled by a Liberal Party minority under Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King . The Official Opposition was the Conservative Party , led by Arthur Meighen , although the new Progressive Party led by Thomas Crerar had more seats.
