Ontario Provincial Parliament

The Ontario Provincial Parliament is the legislative body responsible for making laws and overseeing the government in the province of Ontario, Canada. It consists of two main parts: the Legislative Assembly, where elected representatives (Members of Provincial Parliament or MPPs) debate and pass laws, and the Lieutenant Governor, who officially gives royal assent to legislation. Members are elected during provincial elections, and the government is led by the Premier. The Parliament ensures that the province's laws reflect public needs, manages public policies, and holds the government accountable through debates, questions, and committee work.
