The Conservatives became the Official Opposition ( with Stephen Harper announcing his resignation as party leader ) and the New Democrats ( NDP ) became the third party. While members of the Bloc Québécois and the Greens were elected to the House, both failed to achieve the required number of MPs for official party status. Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe announced his resignation shortly after the election, and was succeeded by Parti Québécois MNA Martine Ouellet. After losing a leadership review, Ouellet announced she would step down as Bloc leader on June 11, 2018. Due to Tom Mulcair failing his April 2016 leadership review by garnering only 48 % of the delegate vote, the NDP held a leadership election on October 1, 2017, electing Ontario MPP and the former Deputy Leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party Jagmeet Singh as his successor. Electoral reform Main article : Canadian House of Commons Special Committee on Electoral Reform In June 2015, Justin Trudeau pledged to reform the electoral system if elected, saying, `` We are committed to ensuring that 2015 is the last election held under first - past - the - post. '' As the New Democrats, Bloc, and Greens were all in favour of reform of some kind, it was seen as possible that a different voting system would be in place the next federal election. A Special Committee on Electoral Reform was formed with representatives from all five parties in the House. The committee 's report, Strengthening Democracy in Canada : Principles, Process and Public Engagement for Electoral Reform, was presented in December 2016 and recommended a proportional electoral system be introduced following a national referendum. In February 2017, however, the government dropped support for electoral reform, issuing a mandate to newly appointed Minister of Democratic Institutions Karina Gould, saying `` A clear preference for a new electoral system, let alone a consensus, has not emerged... Changing the electoral system will not be in your mandate.
