Considering the possibility Canadians will elect a minority government on Monday, CTV's Question Period asked NDP, Liberal and Conservative veterans to comment on what will happen to their parties and leaders if that’s how the votes add up. Here's a roundup of what they had to say.
James Rajotte, former Conservative MP for Edmonton-Leduc, said he expects Stephen Harper to stay on as Conservative Party leader, if the Tories win a minority.
"My sense is, if there is a minority Conservative government tomorrow, that he would in fact stay on, he would in fact form a cabinet, present a throne speech to the House, and ask for the confidence of the House of Commons," Rajotte said.
And, Rajotte said, he expects Harper to stay on, even if another party forms a government.
"He's obviously been a big part of the Conservative brand," he said of Harper. "This election's very much about the Conservative Party, and his time as prime minister, and we'll see what happens tomorrow in terms of the results."
Although polls suggest the NDP may be relegated to third-party status, former NDP MP Lorne Nystrom warned against counting the New Democrats out just yet.
"The NDP vote, historically, is quite efficient. More so than the Liberal Party, in particular," he said, noting the party's strong base in Quebec, and several close races in Toronto.
"It all depends on the results, and we may have a surprise tomorrow night. Diefenbaker used to say 'Polls are for dogs,'" Nystrom said.
Meanwhile, former Liberal MP and former deputy prime minister Anne McLellan said if the Liberals win a minority government, Canadians may see some stability on the Hill for a few years.
"We're obviously working hard to get a Liberal majority government tomorrow. But (in) a minority government, I think Mr. Trudeau would find his support or look for support on an issue by issue basis. He's made it very clear that there's not going to be any kind of a coalition," she said.
"If we form a minority government tomorrow, we probably will, and Canadians will, have a period of some stability."
Canadians will cast their ballots on Monday.
