The House of Commons is the elected lawmaking body in Parliament. When MPs meet together in the House of Commons Chamber in Ottawa, we say that the House is in session or is sitting. How is the seating of MPs in the House of Commons arranged? In the House of Commons Chamber, politicians from the same party normally sit together. The governing party sits to the right of the Speaker of the House of Commons. The Official Opposition sits directly opposite the Government. Where the members of the other opposition parties sit depends on the number of MPs elected from each party.
