The main opposition party in the Canadian parliament is the Liberal Party of Canada, at least until further notice in this year of 2010.
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.
In 2018, the Leader of the Opposition in Canada was Andrew Scheer. He was the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and served in this role following the 2015 federal election. Scheer became the Opposition leader after winning the Conservative leadership in May 2017, succeeding Rona Ambrose.
The current leader of the opposition is Jack Layton, leader of the NDP.

In Canada, the parties that are not in power are referred to as "opposition parties." The primary opposition party is known as the "Official Opposition," which is typically the party with the second-largest number of seats in the House of Commons. Other smaller parties that are not in government also contribute to the opposition, collectively holding the government accountable and providing alternative policies.
