Just for comparison's sakes.
2004:
Liberal Party - 135 seats
Conservative Party - 99 seats
Bloc Québécois - 54 seats
New Democratic Party - 19 seats
2000:
Liberal Party - 172 seats
Canadian Alliance - 66 seats
Progressive Conservative Party - 12 seats
Bloc Québécois - 38 seats
New Democratic Party - 13 seats
Note: the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives merged into the Conservative Party prior to the 2004 elections.
The convergence of the right-wing vote took away a few seats from the Libs in Ontario, but IMO where they really lost out was in Quebec. Seats just flocked away from them to the Bloc, no doubt that announces a Parti Québecois government in the next provincial elections.
