Bloc Quebecois - 23 seats

NDP - 7 seats (they lose official party status as a party must have 12 seats in the House of Commons for official party status) 

Greens - 1 seat (Greens also do not have official party status as they too must have 12 seats in the House of Commons for official party status but Greens co-leader Elizabeth May, who was re-elected in her riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands, told media that she plans to have a discussion with the next House of Commons Speaker to ensure that both Greens/NDP voices are heard in the House of Commons and in its' Committees')

Finally -- my personal appreciation/gratitude of residents' in both Williams Lake and those from #CaribooRD Area "D" who helped Elections Canada yesterday during General Voting Day -- your efforts are greatly appreciated in facilitating this thing we call Canadian Democracy ...
