On May 30, 2006, interim Liberal leader [[Bill Graham (Canadian politician)|Bill Graham]] appointed McGuinty as the Official Opposition critic for Transport.

In the [[2006 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election|2006 Liberal leadership contest]], McGuinty endorsed the candidacy of [[Michael Ignatieff]].

====Leadership aspirations====
In 2008, following the failed leadership of [[Stephane Dion]] and his pending resignation, McGuinty was considered a potential candidate to succeed him but announced in November 2008, that he would not seek the leader and instead endorsed [[Michael Ignatieff]], Dion later appointed him as the critic for International Trade.<ref>{{cite news|title='This party needs to change'|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/this-party-needs-to-change/article20389849/|access-date=17 May 2018|newspaper=The Globe and Mail|date=13 November 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Liberal shadow cabinet targets economic crisis|url=http://www.canada.com/story_print.html?id=42fef917-7359-492f-b6a0-b20513f2562c&sponsor=|access-date=15 January 2012|newspaper=Canada.com|date=15 November 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160107172745/http://www.canada.com/story_print.html?id=42fef917-7359-492f-b6a0-b20513f2562c&sponsor=|archive-date=7 January 2016}}</ref>

====International work====
In 2012 McGuinty was elected to head the Canadian chapter of an international alliance of lawmakers, Globe International, that presses governments to address global environment and economy challenges. He received all-party support to become the president of Globe Canada on June 12.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.commonlaw.uottawa.ca/en/news/alumni-news/alumnus-david-mcguinty-86-elected-president-of-globe-canada.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120730013805/http://www.commonlaw.uottawa.ca/en/news/alumni-news/alumnus-david-mcguinty-86-elected-president-of-globe-canada.html |archive-date=2012-07-30 |title=Faculty of Law {{!}} Common Law Section - Alumnus David McGuinty ( 86) Elected President of Globe Canada}}</ref>

====Oil and gas criticism====
On November 20, 2012, following a meeting of the Natural Resources Committee, McGuinty stated, among other things, that Conservative MPs were "shilling" for the oil and gas industry, did not belong in the national legislature, and should "go back to Alberta."<ref>{{cite news|title=Ontario Lib MP says Alberta Tories' views don't belong in parliament|url=http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/politics/archives/2012/11/20121120-172347.html|access-date=November 20, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121122110318/http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/politics/archives/2012/11/20121120-172347.html|archive-date=November 22, 2012}}</ref>

The Conservative response was critical, as exemplified by Prime Minister [[Stephen Harper]] who said: "I find it shameful, I guess not surprising, but shameful, that 30 years after the [[National Energy Program]], these anti-Alberta attitudes are so close to the surface in the Liberal party."<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mp-mcguinty-drops-critic-role-over-go-back-to-alberta-gibe-1.1203150 |title=MP McGuinty drops critic role over 'go back to Alberta' gibe|publisher=Cbc.ca |date=2012-11-17 |access-date=2018-05-17}}</ref> Interim leader [[Bob Rae]] apologized on behalf of the Liberal Party and said McGuinty was away on family business for the following week.<ref>{{cite news|title=Rae forced to apologize after David McGuinty says Alberta MP's should "go home"|url=https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/rae-forced-to-apologize-after-david-mcguinty-says-alberta-tories-should-go-home|date=November 21, 2012|access-date=June 10, 2023}}</ref>

The following day McGuinty resigned as natural resources critic. He apologized saying, "As member of Parliament for Ottawa South, I would like to unreservedly and unequivocally apologize for comments which I made with respect to parliamentary colleagues from the province of Alberta. My words in no way reflect the views of my party or leader, and I offer my apology to them as well as my colleagues from Alberta. I hold all parliamentarians in high esteem, and I regret my choice of words, as I can understand the offence they have caused."<ref name="autogenerated1" /><ref>{{cite news|title=McGuinty resigns as critic|url=http://www.macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/mcguinty-resigns-as-critic/|newspaper=Maclean's|date=November 21, 2012|access-date=May 25, 2015}}</ref>

====Attendance record====
In early 2014, McGuinty was accused of being a "part-time" Member of Parliament by the Conservative Riding Association, who were subsequently unable to explain how they calculated McGuinty's time in the House of Commons, given that the House does not keep attendance records.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://o.canada.com/news/national/david-mcguinty-rejects-claim-hes-a-part-time-mp|title=David McGuinty rejects claim he's a part-time MP|newspaper=Ottawa Citizen|date=May 1, 2014|access-date=May 25, 2015|archive-date=November 29, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129095329/http://o.canada.com/news/national/david-mcguinty-rejects-claim-hes-a-part-time-mp|url-status=dead}}</ref>
