In the House of Commons, frontbenchers are typically members of the government or the official opposition. The government frontbench is composed of ministers, including the Prime Minister, cabinet members, and other key officials, while the opposition frontbench includes the Leader of the Opposition and shadow ministers. These MPs are responsible for leading debates, presenting policies, and answering questions related to their portfolios. The layout of the House of Commons also reflects this structure, with government members sitting on one side and opposition members on the other.

The Lower House of the Parliament of Canada is styled the House of Commons.The House of Commons does not directly select which parties form government or opposition. The Governor General of Canada appoints the person who is best able to command the support of a majority of members of the House of Commons to become the prime minister and to form a Government. The largest party, other than the Government, becomes Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.
