 Legislative assembly - Quebec History
The Assembly of Prince Edward Island was organized in 1773; that of New Brunswick met in 1786.
This was evidently recognized, as in the instructions to Murray the Assembly is spoken of as "impracticable for the present." The British merchants pressed insistently for a House of Assembly; nevertheless, the Quebec Act of 1774 still deemed it inexpedient.
With the coming of the Loyalists the demand was renewed, and finally by the Constitutional Act, in 1791, each of the newly-created provinces of Upper and Lower Canada was given an elective Assembly.

 Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Hansard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Our Quebec membership, numbering currently over 50,000, or close to one third of our Canadian membership, has, not surprisingly, evolved a unique and feisty identity within the larger structure, and three of our four elected directors are francophone, no small tribute to the political strength of the French factor in the steelworkers union.
For all the attention focused on language and culture, the nationalism pursued by the Quebec labour movement and by the progressive or social democratic wing of the Parti québécois has always coupled self-determination with the kinds of collective social rights and entitlements that are the raison d'être of labour everywhere.
In short, I feel that Quebec must be strongly and completely united with the rest of the provinces in the future or it must go its own way, and quickly, before it causes further damage to what we know as Canada.

Unfortunately, relatively little is known of them or their legacy as individual legislators, for records are rare for the years 1792-94 and Legislative Journals for 1795 and 1796 are non-existent.
They were a relatively young group with three in their 20s, six in their 30s, six in their 40s, and one in his 60s.With the exception of one member, the legislators were all levellers and as such generally held the belief that all were equal in status.
No record was kept of the attendance of members of the Assembly, but from the proceedings it seems clear that of the sixteen members elected to the first parliament, at least fourteen were in attendance at some time during the first session.
