20th New Brunswick Legislature
The 20th New Brunswick Legislative Assembly represented New Brunswick between April 27, 1865 and May 9, 1866.
The assembly sat at the pleasure of the Governor of New Brunswick Arthur Charles Hamilton-Gordon.
Edwin A. Vail was chosen as speaker.
The Anti-Confederation Party led by Albert J. Smith formed the government.
In April 1866, the non-elected Legislative Council passed a reply to the throne speech supporting confederation, which was accepted by Governor Gordon. Smith and his government resigned to protest what they saw as an abuse of the principles of responsible government. The assembly was dissolved and an election was called.
