| | Leader of the Opposition |
 | | At present in Nova Scotia, there are references to the Leader of the Opposition or the Leader of the Official Opposition in the Auditor General Act, the Elections Act, the House of Assembly Act, the Members' Retiring Allowances Act and the Public Service Act. | | | In the fifth session, the Liberal leader was recognized as the leader of the opposition but continued to share the allowance with the CCF leader. | | | Traditionally in Nova Scotia, the Speaker has recognized as the Leader of the Opposition the leader of the opposition party having the most seats in the House of Assembly. |

| | The Opposition in a Parliamentary System (BP47e) |
| | This represented a compromise which both guaranteed the government an eventual conclusion to the debate and conceded the opposition’s point that the conclusion should be delayed until after the Supreme Court had ruled on the constitutionality of the resolution before the House. | | | By the British North America Act of 1867 Canada inherited a constitution "similar in principle to that of the United Kingdom." Responsible cabinet government and the doctrine of the supremacy of Parliament were thereby entrenched in the Canadian political system. | | | In national politics during the years when I was in the government, I watched the Opposition perform their duty vigorously and industriously, with courage and determination. |

| | Harold Wilson in July 1964, when, he was Leader of the Opposition, as a "fiddled constitutional arrangement", led to the removal of my party from the Government, nearly a year before the expiry of my constitutional term of office. | | | And the P.N.C leader, no doubt at the behest of his U.S. backers, has dropped reference to democratic socialism, which he demagogically used before and during the election campaign. | | | Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was reported to have urged the Macmillan Government to suspend our constitution or to hold a referendum on a new system of voting demanded by the opposition. |
