If you want to be pedantic and argue that government in a parliamentary system refers to the party with the most seats in parliament

Not even that. Canada currently has 338 MPs, 184 of whom are members of the Liberal Party; but only 31 of them -- the Prime Minister and 30 other Ministers -- are part of the government.

That is only the executive branch of the government.
