The current governing party in Canada (the party with the majority of elected Members of Parliament) are the Conservative Party of Canada, and the Official Opposition (party with the second-most elected MPs, referred to as "shadow cabinet" in England) are the New Democratic Party.

There are 182 members of the governing party (the Liberal Party of Canada) in the House of Commons. The current Cabinet consists of 31 Ministers drawn from among these government MPs, including the Prime Minister. Traditionally, there would also be members of the governing party in the Senate, but the current government has decided to expel all Senators from its caucus and instead appoint a single Senator to represent the government in the Senate.
