the party that forms official opposition in the senate is not necessarily the same party as in the house of commons, however. from 1993 to 2003, the official opposition in the senate was the progressive conservative party of canada, even though the bloc québécois was the official opposition in the house from 1993 to 1997, followed by the reform party of canada, and then the canadian alliance from 1997 to 2003. this is because the bq, and reform party had no senators. however, when senator gerry st. germain crossed the floor from the progressive conservatives to the canadian alliance in 2000, he argued that he should be recognized as leader of the opposition in the senate as the canadian alliance formed the official opposition in the house of commons. the speaker of the senate of canada ruled against him, however, as the progressive conservatives were the larger opposition party.
