The Honourable Mark Holland PC MP ( born October 16 , 1974 ) is a Canadian politician and current Chief Government Whip . In the 2004 federal election he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada as a candidate of the Liberal Party in the Ontario riding of Ajax-Pickering . Holland was subsequently re-elected in the 2006 , 2008 , and the 2015 federal elections . He was defeated in 2011 where he became the director of health promotion and public affairs with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and was subsequently promoted to the roles of executive director for the Ontario Mission and national director of children and youth , before returning to federal politics in 2015 . In August 2018 , he was promoted to the position of Chief Government Whip .
The Liberal Party of Canada ( French : Parti libéral du Canada ) is the oldest and longest-serving political party in Canada . The party has dominated federal politics for much of Canada 's history , holding power for almost 70 years in the 20th century - more than any other party in a developed country - and as a result , it is sometimes referred to as Canada 's natural governing party . The party espouses the principles of liberalism , and generally sits at the centre to centre-left of the Canadian political spectrum , with the Conservative Party positioned to the centre-right and the New Democratic Party ( who at times aligned itself with the Liberals during minority governments ) , occupying the centre-left to left . Like their federal Conservative Party rivals , the party is often described as a big tent , attracting support from a broad spectrum of voters . In the late 1970s , Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau claimed that his Liberal Party adhered to the radical centre . The Liberals ' signature policies and legislative decisions include universal health care , the Canada Pension Plan , Canada Student Loans , peacekeeping , multilateralism , official bilingualism , official multiculturalism , patriating the Canadian constitution and the entrenchment of Canada 's Charter of Rights and Freedoms , the Clarity Act , legalizing same-sex marriage , euthanasia , and cannabis , national carbon pricing , and reproductive choice . In the 2015 federal election , the Liberal Party under Justin Trudeau had its best result since the 2000 election , winning 39.5 percent of the popular vote and 184 seats , gaining a majority of seats in the House of Commons . However , in the 2019 federal election , they lost their majority , winning 157 seats , but they still remained the largest party in the House .

She ran as the NDP 's candidate in the 2004 election and the 2006 election , losing to Liberal incumbent Brent St. Denis both times . She had told the press that she would not run in the 2008 election , but changed her mind after she stopped in Blind River for dinner on her way home from a Canadian Labour Congress meeting , and a couple she had never met approached her and encouraged her to run again . She won the riding in that election , and was re-elected in the 2011 election . Hughes endorsed Niki Ashton in the 2012 NDP leadership election , and Charlie Angus in the 2017 leadership election .
The New Democratic Party ( NDP ; French : Nouveau Parti démocratique , NPD ) is a social-democratic federal political party in Canada . The party was founded in 1961 out of the merger of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation ( CCF ) with the Canadian Labour Congress ( CLC ) . On the Canadian political spectrum , the party sits to the left of the Liberal Party . Since 2017 , the NDP has been led by Jagmeet Singh , who is the first Indo-Canadian to lead a major federal party in Canada . The federal and provincial ( or territorial ) level NDPs are more integrated than other political parties in Canada , and have shared membership ( except for the New Democratic Party of Quebec ) . Often the third- or fourth-largest party in Canada 's House of Commons , the NDP has never been in power at the federal level , but it has attained second-largest party status once . In the 2011 election under the leadership of Jack Layton , the NDP won the second most seats in the House , gaining the position of Official Opposition for the first time in the party 's history . The NDP subsequently lost 59 seats in the 2015 federal election and fell to third place in Parliament , though it was their second-best seat count to date . Following the 2019 election , the NDP held the balance of power as the Liberals won a minority government , although the party lost 15 seats and fell to fourth place behind the Bloc Québécois .
