Minority governments in Canada

In Canada's Westminster-style parliamentary system of responsible government, minority governments occurs when no party has a majority of seats in the legislature, and the party with a plurality forms government. In a minority situation, governments must rely on the support of other parties to stay in power, providing less stability than a majority government. For much of Canada's history it has had a multi-party system, resulting in several minority governments at the federal level and in some provinces.
