The prime minister is appointed by the Governor General, but to ensure the continuity of a stable government this person will always be the one who has the confidence of the House of Commons to lead the government.
The prime minister holds office until he or she resigns or is removed by the Governor General; therefore, the party that was in government before the election may attempt to continue to govern if they so desire, even if they hold fewer seats than another party.
If the Commons passes a motion of no confidence in the government, the prime minister and his cabinet are expected either to resign their offices or to ask for Parliament to be dissolved so that a general election can be held.
