Saskatchewan Legislature

Add article description

The Saskatchewan Legislature is made of two elements: the lieutenant governor[1] as representative of the King of Canada in Right of Saskatchewan, and the unicameral assembly called the Legislative Assembly. The legislature has existed since Saskatchewan was formed out of part of the North-West Territories in 1905.

Quick Facts Type, Houses ...

Like the Canadian federal government, Saskatchewan 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 and Executive Council. The premier is Saskatchewan's head of government.

List of legislatures

Following is a list of the 29 times the legislature has been convened since 1905. For previous legislatures, see List of Northwest Territories Legislative Assemblies.
