41st Parliament of Ontario

Add article description

The 41st Legislative Assembly of Ontario was a legislature of the government of the province of Ontario, Canada. The membership was set by the 2014 Ontario general election. The 41st parliament of Ontario was dissolved on May 8, 2018.

Quick Facts Parliament of Ontario, Parliament leaders ...

It was controlled by a Liberal Party majority, with Liberal leader Kathleen Wynne serving as Premier of Ontario.

The Official Opposition was the Progressive Conservative Party led by Vic Fedeli, and the third party was the New Democratic Party, led by Andrea Horwath. At dissolution the Trillium Party had one MPP, Jack MacLaren, but lacked official party status so MacLaren was officially considered an independent by the legislature.^[1]
