Canadian Government Resources: Legislative Assembly Papers

Legislative Assembly

Thirteen volumes (covering 1841-1856) have been published so far of this "hansard" reconstructed from contemporary newspaper reports of parliamentary proceedings. In the first volume several chapters discuss the early history and records of the first Canadian parliaments.

Perkins/Bostock Stacks: J103 .J2

In lieu of an official Hansard there were quasi-official newspapers which reported the debates in Parliament. This is one of the more long-lived of these papers.
