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 14^th day of October of the year 2025, a total of 1,039 members are sitting at both the federal and provincial or territorial levels — 656 men, 379 women, and 4 persons identifying as non binary — and 84 seats are vacant. Among those sitting members:

• 595 are on the government side — 371 men, 223 women, and 1 person identifying as non binary,
• none is part of a confidence-and-supply agreement,
• and 444 are on the opposition side — 285 men, 156 women, and 3 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
