Who is invited by the Governor General to form the government after a federal election?

The leader of the party with the least seats
The Prime Minister
The leader of the party with the most seats
The Speaker of the House

The correct answer is: The leader of the party with the most seats

After a federal election in Canada, the Governor General invites the leader of the party with the most elected seats to form the government. This is because the party with the most seats typically has the most support from voters and therefore is in the best position to form a stable government. Option A is incorrect because the Governor General would not choose the leader of the party with the least seats to form the government, as that party would likely not have enough support to effectively govern. Option B, the Prime Minister, is the leader of the party that currently holds power, rather than necessarily the party with the most seats after an election. Option D, the Speaker of the House, is also incorrect as their role is to preside over the House of Commons and maintain order, rather than form the government.
