• Experience/reality • statute language often unintelligible • language often too narrow & no principles set out to guide change • little outside input • great difficulty in finding law • rationales often obscured • statutes often delegate authority with few guidelines • often very political re changes to criminal law • still no comprehensive codification of criminal law

Name of article edit

Given that three of the provincial/territorial legislatures are not actually called the "Legislative Assembly" shouldn't the title of this article be "Legislative assemblies of Canadian provinces and territories", since the title refers to the generic entity and not to a proper noun? --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Reorganization of the table edit

The current layout, sorted by province is slightly confusing. Might I suggest that the table be sorted by period? With a section for current arrangements and a section for former arrangements? Within the sections, though, the sorting by province can be kept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zacharycmango (talkcontribs) 22:55, 23 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Proposed name change edit

Given that the legislatures and legislative assemblies all have different names, I would propose moving this article to the generic Legislatures of Canadian provinces and territories. Andrew Yong (talk) 19:37, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
