In the ensuing January 23, 2006 general election, the Liberals were defeated by the Conservatives, who emerged as the largest party in the House of Commons, although well short of an absolute majority.
On November 28, 2005, the House of Commons passed the no-confidence motion by a vote of 171 to 133, and the government was forced to call an early general election - held in January 2006 - in which the Liberals lost to the Conservatives.
Between 1962 and 1980, eight federal elections were held in Canada, five of which (1962, 1963, 1965, 1972 and 1979) resulted in minority governments, as no party won an absolute majority of seats in the House of Commons.

 Governor General Cartoons
Because the Governor General doesn't really have a political role, he or she is rarely in the public spotlight, and as a result cartoons of the GG are not very common.
Historically, the Governor General was supposed to be the emissary of the British monarch to Canada.
The Governor General can then accept his resignation and call new elections, or appoint a new Prime Minister, or refuse the resignation (the last two powers are never used, but remain part of the GG's "reserve" constitutional authority).

 Law.com - State AG Races Enter a New Era
North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, chairman of the GOP group, makes no apologies for RAGA, but points out that it does not target Democratic incumbents, for fear of destroying the collegial spirit that allows attorneys general of both parties to tackle problems that cross state boundaries.
He says that influence peddling in attorney general races has not become the major problem it is in other contests, but he thinks that it is unfortunate for an office expected to enforce the law without favoritism.
Stenehjem, the North Dakota attorney general, acknowledges that RAGA members are generally more pro-business than their Democratic counterparts, but resists suggestions that RAGA members would swear off class actions or multistate litigation against corporations.

After 1999, the remaining SK Liberals in government worked with Calvert’s NDP to get cabinet postings, while Hilson who lost the leaderhip bid to Karwacki decided to remain true to his voters.
He was rewarded with a lost seat the next general election, and trouble with his previous employer who didn’t properly reinstate him.
It’s notable that the SK Liberal leader from 1991, went on to become the Leiutenant Governor (Queen’s representative) taking the highest ceremonial position in government, a few short years after she was ousted from the Liberals by the Sask Party defectors in about 1995.
