There is no registered political party by the name of Independent Party. It is not a permissible name for a Canadian political party.
The Elections Canada website states: "The name, short-form name, abbreviation or logo of the political party applying for registration must not so resemble the name, short-form name, abbreviation or logo of another party as to be confused with it. The name must not include the word "independent" or any word likely to be confused with it."

How many seats does the majority leader of Canada hold?
Each Member of Parliament holds a single seat. Canada doesn't have a position called "majority leader". The equivalent position in Canada is Leader of the Government. Like in the US House of Representatives, the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is not truly the leader of their party, that being the Prime Minister (as opposed to the Speaker of the House as is the case in the US). For a party to form a majority government, it must have over half the seats in the House of Commons. Currently, this means at least 155 members. The current government (as of March, 2011) is a minority government, with 143 seats.
