The members of the 17th Manitoba Legislature were elected in the Manitoba general election held in July 1922. The legislature sat from January 18, 1923, to June 4, 1927.[1]
The United Farmers of Manitoba formed the government.[1] John Bracken, who had not run in the election, was chosen as party leader. He was subsequently elected to the assembly in a deferred election held in The Pas.[2] The United Farmers would later identify themselves as the Progressive Party.[3]
