Canadian opposition parties are allocated days, which are also called allotted or supply days, in proportion to their membership in the House. There are no opposition days in Australian jurisdictions. Originally, opposition days were associated with debates over supply and held prior to the estimates and the budget and were created so that opposition parties could advance ideas for what should and should not be funded.
