They're called back BENCHERS actually. ;) And it's because they tend to sit at the back benchers of parliament.
Members of the Canadian Cabinet are called Cabinet ministers (not all ministers necessarily sit in Cabinet).

In a parliament the people who form the government - the prime minister and other ministers, secretaries of state, etc. sit in the front benches, facing their opponents. Those who are in the same party, but who do not hold any government office, are known as backbenchers, because they sit in the seats towards, or at, the back. Opposition parties have 'spokespersons' on variou subjects.... they are often called the 'shadow Minister for ..... ' because they are said to 'shadow' the minister in charge of whatever their interest is.... These are usually referred to as 'front-bench spokespersons' or 'The Shadow Cabinet'. People in the opposition party, or parties, who are not spokespersons are also called backbenchers. Again, because the spokespersons sit at the front.
The duration of Sit Back With Jack is 1800.0 seconds.
Front benchers are typically senior members of a parliamentary or legislative body who hold positions of leadership within their party or government. Back benchers, on the other hand, are members who do not hold leadership roles and sit towards the back of the chamber. Front benchers are usually involved in decision-making and represent their party in debates and discussions, while back benchers have a more supportive role.
