As of April 14, 2026, Canada’s Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, has secured a majority in the House of Commons with 174 of 343 seats after winning three by-elections and gaining five defectors from opposition parties. This majority allows Carney to pass legislation without opposition support and potentially remain in power until 2029.
The Liberals have won three key by-elections, giving them a majority in Canada's House of Commons. Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasizes economic stability and affordability, announcing a temporary fuel tax suspension to address rising prices. Opposition critics question the legitimacy of the majority, citing defections and backroom deals.
