Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colonial Building, the House of Assembly of the Dominion of Newfoundland

Chamber of the House of Assembly in the Confederation Building.

Newfoundland House of Assembly in Colonial Building, ca. 1914

The Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly is one of two components of the General Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador, the other being the Lieutenant-Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Newfoundland and Labrador General Assembly meets in the Confederation Building at St. John's.

Worthy of note is the fact that the governing party sits on the left side of the speaker of the House of Assembly as opposed to the traditional right side of the speaker. This tradition dates back to the 1850s because the heaters in the Colonial Building were located on the left side. Thus, the Government chose to sit in the heat, and leave the opposition sitting in the cold.
