The Liberal Party of Canada, colloquially known as the Grits, is the oldest federally registered party in Canada. In the conventional political spectrum, the party lies on the center-left. The party has been the Official Opposition in the Parliament of Canada since the 2006 federal election. The Liberal Party has dominated federal politics for much of Canada's history, holding power for almost 69 years in the 20th century, more than any other party in a developed country.
Michael Ignatieff has been the leader of the Liberal Party ever since he was elected at the May 2009 Liberal leadership convention.
