Party Standings in The Canadian House of Commons

In the party standings in the House of Commons of Canada, Members of Parliament are generally seated as a group with members of the caucus of their political party. The members of the governing party or parties are seated to the right of the Speaker in the House of Commons, while members of opposition parties are generally seated to the left of the Speaker. Where the governing party or parties have more than half the members of the House, members of the government caucus are seated on the "opposition side" (as is the case with the current Parliament), and where the government has less than half of the seats, opposition members are seated on the "government side".

Famous quotes containing the words party, canadian, house and/or commons:

    “The slanders poured down like Niagara. If you take into consideration the setting—the war and the revolution—and the character of the accused—revolutionary leaders of millions who were conducting their party to the sovereign power—you can say without exaggeration that July 1917 was the month of the most gigantic slander in world history.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    “We’re definite in Nova Scotia—’bout things like ships ... and fish, the best in the world.”
    —John Rhodes Sturdy, Canadian screenwriter. Richard Rossen. Joyce Cartwright (Ella Raines)

    “The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master.”
    —Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931)

    “I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons & Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
