It is important to know who your member of provincial parliament is
because he or she has been elected to speak on behalf of the public in the
legislature on provincial issues. Parliament has a collective responsibility for
making policy. As part of the parliamentary duties of members of provincial
parliament, they are responsible for listening to the needs and concerns of the
constituents in their ridings and for considering these wishes when putting
forth bills, or when voting on bills that are introduced to the
House. Information on the passing of public bills (government bills
introduced by cabinet ministers) or private members bills (introduced by other
non-cabinet ministers) is available at the Legislative Assembly of
Ontario's website.
