From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The General Assembly of Prince Edward Island is the legislature of the province of Prince Edward Island , Canada . Today, the legislature is made of two elements: the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island ,[ 1] and the unicameral assembly called the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island . The legislature was first established in 1773.
Like the Canadian federal government, Prince Edward Island uses a Westminster-style parliamentary government , in which members are sent to the Legislative Assembly after general elections and from there the party with the most seats chooses a Premier of Prince Edward Island and Executive Council of Prince Edward Island . The premier acts as Prince Edward Island's head of government , while the Queen of Canada acts as its head of state .
The legislature was originally bicameral, with an upper house called the Legislative Council of Prince Edward Island and a lower house called the House of Assembly of Prince Edward Island . The Legislative Council also held executive power until 1839. In 1893 the houses were amalgamated into the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island . Unlike other provinces that eliminated their upper house, the assembly continued to have a distinction between members elected as Councillors and members elected as Assemblymen. This distinction was eliminated in 1996, giving all members the title Member of the Legislative Assembly , upon the change from Dual ridings (two members per district) to single ridings (one member per district) in the Legislative Assembly.
