former MLA

"Former MLA" refers to someone who previously served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly, which is an elected representative in a provincial government. MLAs participate in creating laws, debating policies, and representing their constituents' interests. When someone is called a "former MLA," it means they held this role in the past but no longer serve in that position. Their term may have ended due to retirement, electoral defeat, or choosing not to run again. Essentially, they are individuals who have contributed to provincial governance but are no longer actively serving as elected legislators.
