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.

Government in Canada?
Canada is a Constitutional Monarchy with a parliamentary form of government.The "government" can refer to two concepts.The Canadian government as a general concept refers to the entire structure of government in Canada, and includes three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch.Executive BranchThe executive branch of Canadian government means the Queen (represented by the Governor General) exercising the powers and authority of the State on the advice of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada. In practical terms, this means that executive power is only exercised on the advice of ministers who are responsible to the elected House of Commons. These ministers are frequently referred to as the "Cabinet."Legislative BranchThe legislative branch of Canadian government refers to the work of the Parliament of Canada, which consists of the Queen (represented by the Governor General), the Senate (an appointed chamber), and the House of Commons (an elected chamber). The House of Commons is by far the dominant chamber in the development of legislation, and the Crown and Senate rarely oppose its initiatives.Judicial BranchThe judicial branch of Canadian government consists of various levels of courts, the highest of which is the Supreme Court of Canada. Many courts have the authority to balance the legislative and executive branches through judicial review, and the striking-down of legislation. Justice in Canada is administered in the name of the Queen.The Government of Canada (note the capitalisation), on the other hand, refers to the executive branch alone. For example, when a member of the House of Commons asks questions "of the Government," they are asking a question of members of Cabinet as advisers in the exercise of executive powers.
