Stephen Harper is the current Prime Minister, and was sworn in on February 6, 2006. He is the 22nd Prime Minister since Confederation, with his Conservative party winning 124 of 308 seats in the last federal election.
The Prime Minister of Canada (French: Premier ministre du Canada), is the de facto head of the Government of Canada. The office does not formally exist in the Constitution of Canada, where executive authority is vested in the Canadian Sovereign. The office evolved a de facto existence in the mid 19th century and has become a central feature of Canadian Government.
The Prime Minister is usually the leader of the political party with the most seats in the Canadian House of Commons. According to Canadian protocol, all holders of the office are styled The Right Honourable for life.
