Usage
[edit]This template provides a listing of all changes to party standings (resignations, leaving or joining a party caucus, deaths, by-elections) in the Canadian House of Commons during the life of the current Parliament.
This new version was created with the following aims:
- Replace the current horizontal format with a vertical format which is more adaptable to an arbitrary number of entries.
- Combine the party standings figures with information on the changes themselves, making the table easier to consult and more informative.
- Make the table easier to update and less prone to errors, by eliminating the need to manually change the rowspan of existing entries.
For the parameters used in the template's rows, see Template:Canada House standings/row/doc.
