A party does not "represent" Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Rather, a party is Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition by virtue of being the political party with the most seats in opposition. It is theoretically possible (but unlikely) for the third place party to form the opposition if the two larger parties should form a coalition government.
Currently, the New Democratic Party is the Official Opposition in Canada's House of Commons.
