An impressive front bench if I do say so myself!

Let's see who's in the Front Bench:

Allen, Christopherson, Stoffer, Boivin, Godin, Chow, Dewar, Jack Harris, Comartin, Mulcair, Layton, Libby Davies, Nash, Julian, Chisholm, Boulerice, Crowder, Angus, Duncan, Perreault, Don Davies.

I didn't figure on Allen, Boivin, Chisholm, Boulerice, Perreault or Don Davies being picked, so I had 15 of 21 right.

Seven of 21 are female; I thought that it might be a little higher than 1/3.

Only four from Quebec; I thought that there would be more.

Nevertheless, quite an impressive Front Bench indeed.

Hmm, looking at that seating plan, I see the Tories have Anders, Goldring, Vellacott and Gallant all sitting next to each other in the second row.

Talk about a Rogue's Gallery.

On the Liberal side, Hedy Fry makes the front bench but Stephane Dion doesn't. For some bizzare reason, Kevin Lamoureux is in the second row ahead of people elected in the 1990s, and David McGuinty has been banished to the back row.

Here's the new House of Commons seating plan.

Thanks. Now all I have to do is look for Rafferty's silver mane at QP, and look one seat back, there's my guy.

Closed for length.
