	Leader of the Opposition
		Canada was the first Commonwealth country to provide statutory recognition to the office through the grant of a salary to the Leader of the Opposition": Beauchesne's Rules & Forms of the House of Commons of Canada, 6th edition (1989).
		By a resolution of the assembly and subsequently by statute, the allowance for the leader of the opposition was divided between all the opposition parties or groups.
		First, it is the practice of the Speaker to recognize the Leader of the Opposition or a member of the "official opposition" first in reply to the Speech from the Throne, the budget address and ministerial statements and in question period.

	The Opposition in a Parliamentary System (BP47e) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The role of the opposition in a parliamentary federation such as Canada’s is obviously different from that of congressional representatives in a pluralist federation like the United States, where legislators exercise considerably more independence and need not take their cue from the executive branch.
		In addition to its practical value, the daily confrontation of government and "loyal" opposition in the House of Commons symbolizes the inner dialogue, the continual sequence of question and answer, which distinguishes the truly civilized mind and is reflected in the social and public life of a civil community.
		Moreover, the opposition must be careful that in resorting to time-wasting devices and theatrical outbursts in Question Period it is not creating an unfavourable impression of Parliament among the general public.

	Premier and Leader of the Opposition
		In fact, the Opposition is so much a part of the structure that it has been known as His or Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.
		The nominee is the leader of the largest minority Party within the Parliament, willing to assume office in the event of a change of government either after an election or as a result of a loss of support for the Government in the House of Assembly.
		However the Leader also represents the Opposition in providing the support of the Opposition for the Government when a unified stance is in the best interests of all, whether it be for condolence motions, significant formal functions or indeed on matters of shared policy position.

		We were outraged at the “Alliance” statement issued in your name and the name of the opposition Foreign Affairs critic Monte Solberg on Oct. 9, 2000, criticizing the Canadian Government for voting with UN Security Council Resolution 1322.
		We call upon our political leaders Palestinians and Israelis to continue their search of a just peace, and we call upon the international community to help both parties to reach what is just and right according to the international legitimacy.
		We hope that the leaders of this land, as well as the international community, will understand that: then every one will enjoy tranquility; all the region will have peace, security and tranquility, as no injustice will remain weighing upon the Palestinian people who has so far suffered so much.

	Paul Martin Time: Paul Martin takes to life as opposition leader
		The leader of the official opposition, Paul Martin, launched his most ferocious attack yet on the Liberal government this week, leaving the leaders of the other opposition parties scrambling for something to add.
		The opposition leader was in Quebec where the Paul Martin Party needs to regain ground lost to the Bloc Québécois in the wake of Liberal Party scandals.
		That means curbing waste and mismanagement," said the leader of the opposition, inferentially agreeing that "waste and mismanagement" had been rife during his years as finance minister.

		The second political ideology was Western alienation, which argues that the interests of Central Canada, and particularly the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, dominate Canadian national politics.
		Harper was eventually heard by the Supreme Court of Canada, which upheld the legislation, concluding it was constitutional under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
		In 2004, Harper was selected leader of the new Conservative Party, defeating newcomer Belinda Stronach (who had helped to broker the merger deal between the two parties), and former Ontario provincial conservative Tony Clement for the position.

	Daniel McKenzie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Honourable Daniel Duncan McKenzie, PC (January 8, 1859-June 8, 1927) was interim leader of the Liberal Party of Canada in 1919, following the death of Sir Wilfrid Laurier on February 17, 1919.
		He held that position, and consequently the position of Leader of the Opposition, until August 7 of the same year, when the leadership of the party was won by William Lyon Mackenzie King at the first Liberal leadership convention.
		McKenzie was also a candidate at that convention, although more recent Canadian tradition has held that an interim leader cannot also stand as a candidate in the official leadership race.

	Address In The House Of Commons-Adjournment (Canada)
		But there are also cases when the opposition must hold the government to account in a more fundamental way and tell the government that it has lost the moral authority and democratic legitimacy to govern this country.
		While the rest of Canada is striving to earn an honest living, support their families and meet their obligations, including paying income tax, we can see these Liberal organizers and their friends trying to remember whether they received their dirty money in $20s or $100s.
		By denying the opposition its opportunity about once a week to choose a topic for debate and vote, the government is trampling upon one of the most basic democratic practices of this House and it is doing it all so it can avoid accountability for corruption.

		The leader of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, or MDC, said he felt ''really relieved and vindicated" by the acquittal.
		In early 2002, two weeks before an election in which Tsvangirai challenged Mugabe for the presidency, prosecutors charged the opposition leader with treason.

		At that time, the leader of the Official Opposition pledged his party’s undying support to ensure that the budget document would pass.

	THE DIPLOMACY OF ASSASSINATION : Miami IMC
		Martin (Prime Minister) and Harper (leader of the opposition) whose parties are subsidiaries of the neo-fascist governing in Washington, were invited to resign, to allow Jack Layton, leader of the Socialist Party of Canada, to constitute a reconciliation and uniting government, supported by a solid apolitical popular front.
		TEIC has committed to catalyze an apolitical popular front and its many members across Canada, are working to persuade Canadians to abandon the political parties (including the Socialist one), to concentrate in an apolitical manner on their electoral duty and the protection of the future of their children.
		“Canada for Canadians” is the slogan that the unemployed, the mothers without daycare centers, the homeless, well, the marginal population that remains outside the economic process supports enthusiastically a nationalistic government strong, serene and audacious in the planning of the next sovereign economy.

		In Canada's federal system, where respect for diversity and equality underlies unity, the unique character of Quebec society, including its French speaking majority, its culture and its tradition of civil law, is fundamental to the well being of Canada.
