Legislative Assembly and Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick
The New Brunswick Legislature is the legislature of the province of New Brunswick , Canada. Today, the legislature is made of two elements: the lieutenant governor (representing the King of Canada )[ 1] and the unicameral assembly called the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick . The legislature has existed de jure since New Brunswick separated from Nova Scotia in 1784, but was not first convened until 1786.
Like the Canadian federal government, New Brunswick uses a Westminster-style system , in which members are sent to the Legislative Assembly after general elections . Usually the leader of the party with the most seats is asked by the lieutenant governor to form a government who then becomes Premier of New Brunswick and appoints an Executive Council of New Brunswick . The premier is New Brunswick's head of government , while the lieutenant governor represents Canada's head of state Charles III , King of Canada.
The legislature was originally bicameral, with an upper house called the Legislative Council of New Brunswick . The upper house was abolished in 1892.[ 2]
