Light Blue represents members of the ministry. White dots are party leaders.
 
The graphic has been updated in accordance with the 18 October 2007 official seating plan. Although [[Bill Blaikie]] has sat in the Speaker's chair in the current session of Parliament, he is assigned a seat with his caucus. Therefore, there appears a slight discrepancy with the previous statement that the Deputy Speaker sits apart from his caucus.
