 CBC - Canada Votes 2006 - Voter Toolkit - Election Dictionary
Generally, if Canada’s governing party cannot earn the support of a majority of MPs on a major budget vote, a vote to accept the speech from the throne or a major piece of legislation, the vote is treated as a confidence motion.
Currently, Canada has a "first past the post system," in which parties field candidates in 308 ridings, the candidate with the most votes in each riding becomes its member of Parliament and the party with the highest number of MPs forms the government.
Elections Canada defines a third party as "a person or group, other than a candidate, registered party or electoral district association of a registered party," and requires that they be registered if they spend $500 or more in election advertising expenses.
