The government leader's counterpart on the Opposition benches is the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate. The Leader of the Government in the Senate is selected by the Prime Minister, and comes from the party that forms the Government in the Canadian House of Commons regardless of whether or not that party commands a majority or plurality in the Senate. The position has almost always been held by a cabinet minister, except briefly in 1926, from 1958–63 and since 2013.At present, due to current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's 2014 decision to remove senators from the Liberal Party of Canada caucus, leaving them all effectively sitting as independent senators, no Leader of the Government in the Senate has been named in the 42nd Canadian Parliament. The situation has created some uncertainty about how the Senate will function, and how government legislation will be brought to the Senate. It is currently expected that a government leader will be named by an internal decision of the Senate Liberal caucus in early 2016."@en }
