The members of the 6th Manitoba Legislature were elected in the Manitoba general election held in December 1886. The legislature sat from April 14, 1887, to June 16, 1888.[1]
Premier John Norquay formed a majority government. A falling out with Canadian prime minister John A. Macdonald over railway development led to a financial shortfall in the Manitoba government accounts and the fall of the Norquay government in December 1887. David Howard Harrison served as premier for less than a month and then the Liberals led by Thomas Greenway took power.[2]
Thomas Greenway served as Leader of the Opposition until 1888, when John Norquay became opposition leader.[3]
David Glass served as speaker for the assembly.[1]
There were two sessions of the 6th Legislature:[1]
| Session | Start | End |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | April 14, 1887 | June 10, 1887 |
| 2nd | January 12, 1888 | May 8, 1888 |
James Cox Aikins was Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba.[4]
