Whilst there is no requirement for the holder of this position to be a member of the House of Commons, but this has always been the practice. There is also a Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, but this position is considered junior to the Deputy Leader in the House of Commons. It is usual for the Deputy Leader to assume leadership of the opposition when the Leader is unavailable. On several occasions the deputy has assumed leadership on an interim basis on the death or resignation of the Leader.
