A two-body Legislature is known as a bicameral Legislature. PEI’s first Governor, Walter Patterson, was instructed to establish a House of Assembly in which representatives were popularly elected (unlike Council members, who were appointed). The combination of a Council and House was a requirement for the enactment of legislation under British law. Though Patterson became Governor in 1769, the first House of Assembly was not elected until 1773. Early sessions of the Assembly met in private homes and taverns. A Sergeant-at-Arms of the time commented that this made for a “damn queer parliament”. By 1825, the House of Assembly was working on establishing its rights and privileges, particularly in terms of self- regulation and authority.

  • People and Prosperity
    People and Prosperity WORKING TOGETHER Premier’sPEO Message PLE, PROSPERITY, ENGAGEMENT Dear Islanders, A year ago I had the privilege of becoming your Premier. Over the past 12 months, I have been encouraged by the commitment of Islanders to work together. Everywhere I go - from West Prince to Eastern Kings - I hear from Islanders who are striving to build a better future for their families and their communities. These conversations have provided the foundation for a deliberate and well- considered plan to move our province forward. I firmly believe that government must be led by the people it serves - and every decision must reflect that sense of common purpose and optimism. For those reasons, we have a plan that will: • Create opportunities for jobs for Islanders, and support Island businesses to grow • Position our school system in a way that places student success at the centre of all decision-making • Invite Islanders to become more active in government Our Liberal team will work together with Islanders to move our province forward. We are here to serve each and every one of you - and with your continued input, advice, and energy, together we will build a stronger Prince Edward Island. Sincerely, Premier Wade MacLauchlan Let’s Work Together! PEOPLE, PROSPeople PERITY, ENGAGEMENT Islanders are known for their sense of generosity and willingness to help their friends and neighbours. As Liberals, we’re deeply committed to helping those Islanders who need it the most. We also recognize the need to invest in services that matter the most to Islanders, like healthcare. • New personal income tax changes mean 12,000 Islanders pay less tax, including 2,000 who will no longer pay any personal income tax • The Generic Drug Program assists Islanders under the age of 65 who don’t have private health insurance.
