Briefly

In the 2025 Canadian federal election, 19.5 million voters selected a Liberal minority government led by Mark Carney. A minority government means that the ruling party does not hold more than half of the House of Commons seats, necessitating support from other parties to pass legislation. The Liberals won 169 out of 343 seats and will need support from either the Bloc Quebecois or the New Democrats to successfully govern. Historical context shows the NDP previously supported the Liberals in a similar arrangement, while the Bloc seeks collaboration on key issues.
With their 169 seats, the Liberals need support from at least one other party, like the NDP or Bloc Quebecois, to govern effectively.
In Canada's minority government scenario, free votes are rare, and the NDP has previously supported the Liberals in exchange for legislative commitments.
