A Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) is an elected member of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, Canada. The titular designation "Member of Provincial Parliament" and the initialism "MPP" were formally adopted by the Legislature on April 7, 1938. Prior to the adoption of this resolution, members had no fixed designation. Prior to Confederation members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada had been known by various titles including MPP, MLA and MHA and this confusion persisted after 1867 with members of the Ontario legislature using the titles Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) or Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) interchangeably.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://speaker.ontla.on.ca/index.php/en/at-the-assembly/origins-of-mpp.html )〕 In 1938, Frederick Fraser Hunter, the Member for St. Patrick, introduced a private member's bill to designate members as Members of Parliament (MPs) arguing that the titles of MPP or MLA were confusing, inaccurate, and undignified. However, his original proposal failed to pass and as an alternative a resolution was adopted fixing the title as Members of Provincial Parliament (MPP).〔 The text of the resolution passed by the House on that day is as follows: ''On motion of Mr. Hunter, seconded by Mr. Miller'', Ontario is the only Canadian provincial legislative assembly to employ this designation. Members of other Canadian provincial and territorial assemblies employ the titles: * "Member of the National Assembly" (MNA) in Quebec, * "Member of the House of Assembly" (MHA) in Newfoundland and Labrador * "Member of the Legislative Assembly" (MLA) in all other provinces and territories. "MPP" was the titular designation of the members of the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada from 1791 to 1838. ==See also== * Member of Provincial Parliament (Western Cape) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Member of Provincial Parliament (Ontario)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
