During the 36th Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Harris' government had passed legislation which realigned provincial electoral districts to match the boundaries in use for federal districts; accordingly, the 37th Assembly had a reduced number of seats, with just 103 members compared to 130 in the previous session.
In the March 2002 leadership convention, following Mike Harris' resignation announcement, Ernie Eves was elected party leader.
Gary Carr served as speaker for the assembly.
