There were four instances before 1944 in which the government was lead in the house by someone who was not the PM. Abbott and Bowell were Senators and the House was lead by other people. For Abbott it was John Thompson. For Bowell it was George Foster, Adolphe Caron and Charles Tupper. It also happened twice in 1926: Ernest Lapointe lead the house for two months because King had lost his seat in the general election and soon returned in a byelection. When Meighen took over in June he had to resign his seat and recontest it in a byelection (as was the law at the time) so Henry Drayton served as government leader until its defeat three days later. I think this should be mentioned somewhere. Should it be mentioned here or in the list page? Shipguy 20:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Image:Can-pol w.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

According to [1] Jay Hill's portfolio only includes "Leader of the Government in the House of Commons" and no actual ministry position. According to protocol, doesn't that make him not officially a "Minister" and how can he be recognized and included in the Cabinet lists then? As the article says, "The position is not legally entitled to cabinet standing on its own, so all Government House Leaders must simultaneously hold another portfolio. In recent years, sinecure assignments have been used to give House Leaders cabinet standing while allowing them to focus entirely on house business." Does he have a sinecure position that has not been announced yet or is he solely the Government House Leader? If so, then the first sentence of this article needs to be corrected from "is the Cabinet minister responsible for..." etc. Canadianpoliticsfan ( talk) 06:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
To User:Rrius, who removed the numbering: yes, the numbering seems arbitrary, but are you going to remove the numbering from all the lists of Canadian government officials? BartBassist ( talk) 00:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
BTW the equivalent Senate list has numbering too. BartBassist ( talk) 00:11, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
I came here via a category, and I naturally assumed the title referred to the UK House of Commons. I suggest that "House of Commons" needs to be disambiguated in the title, e.g. Leader of the Government in the Canadian House of Commons.

The name of the position is misleading because the Prime Minister is the leader of the government in the House of Commons not some other minister. 49.3.72.79 ( talk) 06:52, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
