The Liberals currently have seats. If O'Toole wins a majority, he would take over as prime minister after a two-week transition period. To govern Canada, a prime minister must show that he or she has the confidence of the House of Commons, the elected chamber of parliament.
If the result is a minority, the incumbent prime minister has the opportunity to test his or her standing with a vote of confidence. That would be the case even if Trudeau wins fewer seats than O'Toole. If the Liberals win more seats than the Conservatives but fall short of a majority, Trudeau would have to rely again on opposition parties, such as the left-leaning New Democratic Party NDP or the Greens, to pass legislation.
There is little chance of a formal coalition, where New Democrats would serve in a Trudeau Cabinet. Canada has had only one coalition and that was in , during World War One. More likely is a deal whereby the NDP continues to back the Liberals in exchange for Trudeau committing to some of its priorities. If Trudeau decides to test the confidence of the House, he could first swear in a Cabinet during a ceremony presided over by Governor General Mary Simon, the Canada-based representative of the head of state, Queen Elizabeth.
