Today’s governments and official oppositions

by Maurice Y. Michaud (he/him)

Here is how each legislative assembly is constituted in terms of government and opposition. If all the seats in a legislature are shown as vacant, that means that a general election is currently being held.

On this 29^th day of September of the year 2026, a total of 900 members are sitting at the federal, provincial or territorial levels — 596 men, 299 women, and 5 persons identifying as non binary — and 226 seats are vacant. Among those sitting members:

• 511 are on the government side — 341 men, 169 women, and 1 person identifying as non binary,
• none is part of a confidence-and-supply agreement,
• and 389 are on the opposition side — 255 men, 130 women, and 4 persons identifying as non binary.

The status of the current governments within the 12 partisan assemblies is as follows:

• 9 majorities
• 2 in the midst of a general election
• 1 minority

In non-partisan assemblies, the individuals named in the ministerial cabinet are de facto considered forming the government
