What is the role of the Official Opposition in Canada?

To enforce federal laws
To oppose all government decisions
The opposition party with the most members of the House of Commons
To lead the Senate

The correct answer is: The opposition party with the most members of the House of Commons

The role of the Official Opposition in Canada is to provide a critical and alternate voice to the ruling party in the federal government. This means that the Official Opposition is responsible for challenging and questioning the decisions and actions of the ruling party, proposing alternative policies and solutions, and holding the government accountable for its actions. It is not the role of the Official Opposition to solely oppose all government decisions and they do not have the power to enforce federal laws. Additionally, the Official Opposition is a party, not an individual, and its members are elected by Canadians to represent their ridings in the House of Commons, not the Senate. Therefore, option C is the most accurate description of the role of the Official Opposition in Canada.
