photo[edit]

The photo of the Red Chamber is misleading. The Assembly does not meet in this room. It meets in the Legisltive Chamber. The Red Chamber was the meeting place of the former Legislative Council and is now used for committee meetings and social functions. It should be replaced with a photo of the Legislative Chamber.

Agree - while the Red Chamber picture belongs on the Province House page, the picture here should be of the Legislative Assembly Chamber. --Cphoffman (talk) 05:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The photo of the Red Chamber has been replaced by a photo of the Legislative Chamber. I have removed text still referring to the photo as being of the Red Chamber.Hebbgd (talk) 17:48, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

House of Assembly?[edit]

Why is this article called "Nova Scotia House of Assembly"? Is the council not called the Legislative Assembly and the building itself Province House? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.167.135 (talk) 23:24, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See here. Andrew Gwilliam (talk) 23:39, 15 November 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Nova Scotia's legislative assembly has been the "House of Assembly" since it was established in 1758. Hebbgd (talk) 14:24, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Readability[edit]

In the seating plan section, Liberal MLA names (highlighted in red) are difficult to read due to poor colour contrast between the default link font and background. I actually just had to mouse-over each of the red blocks to see and read what they said. Is there a simple way to alter the text-to-background colour-contrast or stylization to improve readability? 142.68.150.64 (talk) 23:23, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Graphic[edit]

In the infobox graphic, there are 7 orange NDP seats, yet in the corresponding legend, it lists 6 NDP seats plus one vacancy. Which is correct? M4CD0N4LD-D4N (talk) 03:10, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@M4CD0N4LD-D4N:, currently there are 6 NDP seats. The 1 vacant seat was an NDP, so it's likely the legend was updated but the graphic wasn't. Cmr08 (talk) 01:40, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Assent[edit]

It previously read that Royal Assent was given to bills by the Queen as represented by the Lieutenant Governor. This was inaccurate as, unlike the Parliament of Canada, the Queen is not part of the Nova Scotia Legislature. The Lieutenant Governor, the Queen's representative, is one of the two constituent parts of the Legislature and gives Royal Assent. Although Royal Assent is always given by the Lieutenant Governor signing an engrossed copy of the bill, the Lieutenant Governor almost always also gives Royal Assent orally in the legislative chamber. When the Lieutenant Governor does so, the Lieutenant Governor states that it is in the name of the Queen. Hebbgd (talk) 14:45, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
