Как и Сенат, Палата общин собирается на Парламентском холме в Оттаве. Зал Палаты общин скромно убран в зелёных оттенках, что противоположно более роскошному украшению красного зала Сената. Устройство помещения подобно устройству британской Палаты общин. Места равно распределены по обеим сторонам зала на расстоянии в два с половиной меча друг от друга.

В британской палате общин есть на полу две красные линии - перед членами, представляющими правительство и скамейками оппозиции.

You can see the two red lines in front of the benches on each side of the chamber. This is - as part of tradition. The distance between these two lines - the length of two swords. In the old days, when "members of Parliament used to wear swords, it was dangerous, if they are angry at each other. Thus, these two lines are here to remind the members of parliament that they should not start a fight, and they can not cross the line when they speak in the debate.

Кресло и стол спикера Кресло председателя находится в конце зала; перед креслом стоит стол Палаты, на котором располагается церемониальная булава. Различные «стольные должностные лица» — секретари и другие — сидят за столом, готовые дать председателю совет насчёт процедуры, когда это окажется необходимым. Члены правительства располагаются справа от председателя, тогда как члены оппозиции занимают сиденья слева от него. Министры правительства располагаются около премьер-министра, который традиционно занимает 11-е место в первом ряду справа от председателя. Глава официальной оппозиции сидит непосредственно напротив премьер-министра в окружении своего несуществующего кабинета, критиков министерских портфелей. Главы остающихся партий заседают в переднем ряду.

Dragging the Speaker of the House of Commons

When a new Speaker of the House of Commons is elected, the successful candidate is physically dragged to the Chair by other MPs.

This custom has its roots in the Speaker's function to communicate the Commons' opinions to the monarch. Historically, if the monarch didn't agree with the message being communicated then the early death of the Speaker could follow. Therefore, as you can imagine, previous Speakers required some gentle persuasion to accept the post.
