In this article we describe how the solution space of such parameterized linear difference equations can be represented in a canonical form. In many cases this enables to describe those solutions in a very compact form. =sponsor= Supported by SFB grant F1305 of the Austrian FWF. =keywords= parameterized linear difference equations, $\Pi\Sigma$-fields
