{{Short description|1956 Canadian political event}} {{Refimprove|date=January 2022}} The '''Pipeline Debate''' (May 8 – June 6, 1956) was a political event in the history of the [[Parliament of Canada]]. The debate was on the finances of the [[TransCanada pipeline]], proper parliamentary procedure, and [[Canada β United States relations|American economic influence on Canada]]. The controversy eventually contributed to the defeat of [[Louis St. Laurent]] at the polls in 1957, ending 22 years of [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal]] rule, and bringing in a government under Progressive Conservative Prime Minister [[John Diefenbaker]].<ref>{{Cite news | url=http://archives.cbc.ca/politics/prime_ministers/clips/13083/ | title=Trans-Canada Pipeline: Feat and fury | publisher=[[CBC Television]] | work=The Days Before Yesterday | date=16 December 1973 | accessdate=2009-04-16 }}</ref>
