	House Leader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The House Leader is in charge of the party's day-to-day business in the Canadian House of Commons, and usually conducts negotiations with other parties on the conduct of Bills and debates.
		The position of House Leader is especially important during periods of minority government where no one party has control of the House, and bills can only be passed with the agreement of several parties.
		The title of Opposition House Leader became official in 1963, and in 1974, a special annual indemnity was attached to the position of House Leader in each of the opposition parties.

		However, if the leader of the governing party is changed shortly before an election is due and the new leader is not a Member of Parliament, he or she will normally await the general election before running for a seat.
		Customarily, when a majority government is in power, elections are called 3.5 to 5 years after the previous election or as a de facto referendum if a major issue is at hand (the last of these being the 1988 election, which revolved around free trade with the United States).
		If a minority government is in power, a vote of non confidence in the House of Commons may lead to a quick election (9 months in the case of the second-most recent Canadian minority government, the Clark government of 1979-1980).

		It is not clear whether or not the House agrees with the former government House leader in that the Prime Minister should be able to claim this privilege.

		In particular, members had expressed concern during the debate on the question of privilege that the blind application of the rights of members, such as the right not to be compelled to appear before a court as a witness, might interfere unduly with the rights of others.
