Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said the party that receives the most seats on Oct. 19 should get the first chance at governing, a position that puts him at odds with his father but in line with his political rival Conservative Leader Stephen Harper.

Trudeau's comments are part of an exclusive wide-ranging interview with CBC Chief Correspondent Peter Mansbridge airing Tuesday evening on The National.

Trudeau was asked if the party with the most votes has the right to govern in a minority government situation follwing the Oct. 19 election results.

"Yes, that's the way it's always been, whoever commands the most seats gets the first shot at governing," Trudeau said.

"Whoever gets the most seats gets the first shot at trying to command the confidence of the House."

Harper, in an interview with Mansbridge this week, also said the party that wins the most seats should form the government.
