In the British House of Commons, the Government frontbench is traditionally called the treasury bench. The government frontbench is on the right hand side as seen by the Chairman, and is occupied by Government ministers. The opposition frontbench is occupied by shadow ministers, of which the most senior form the Shadow Cabinet. While backbenchers are referred to in the Canadian House of Commons, the front seats on the government side are reserved for cabinet ministers. Front row members are not referred to as frontbenchers, but as cabinet ministers. Some "frontbenchers" actually sit in the centre of the second row, so as to be seen directly behind the party leader during Question Period.
