The Ontario Legislature Building at Queen's Park

The Legislative Assembly of Ontario, is the legislature of the Canadian province of Ontario. It is located in the Legislative Buildings (see image) at Queen's Park in Toronto.

The British North America Act 1867 section 69 stipulated "There shall be a Legislature for Ontario consisting of the Lieutenant Governor and of One House, styled the Legislative Assembly of Ontario". The Legislative Assembly is unicameral, without an upper house, with 103 seats representing ridings elected in a first-past-the-post system across the province.

The assembly is also known (informally) as the Ontario Provincial Parliament, the reason being that unlike most of the other Canadian provinces, members of this assembly have taken to calling themselves Members of the Provincial Parliament (MPPs) as opposed to Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). The Legislative Assembly Act (R.S.O. 1990) refers to "members of the Assembly".

Canadians were exhausted by the long debate over the national flag and leaders of both the Ontario Liberal Party and the Ontario New Democratic Party decided to support the design. The only opposition came from Sudbury Liberal Member of Provincial Parliament Elmer Sopha who was fervently opposed to the flag, arguing that it failed to reflect Ontario's diverse character and that it was "a flag of revenge" against the new national flag.
