So how does it work if the leader of the official opposition doesn't get elected in his riding? Does he still get to show up to Parliament, and just bide his time until a by-election?
He gets to sit in the guest box, just like Mark Carney had to do before he won a seat. He has to sign in like a common plebian just like you or me. And he gets to collect his pension, just like his arch nemesis Jagmeet...
Sort of. They choose a house leader who has a seat until he wins a seat. No he can't go to Parliament. He doesn't get a salary from the tax payers.
Could he just retire and collect pension ?
That would be ideal.
