3rd Parliament of the Province of Canada
The 3rd Parliament of the Province of Canada was in session from 1848 to 1851. Elections for the Legislative Assembly were held in the Province of Canada in January 1848. The first session was held at Montreal, Canada East. In 1849, rioters protesting the Rebellion Losses Bill burned the parliament buildings. The remaining sessions were held in Toronto.
During the 1849 session of this parliament, a number of important bills were passed:
- the Act to provide for the Indemnification of Parties in Lower Canada whose Property was destroyed during the Rebellion in the years 1837 and 1838
- the Baldwin Act, also known as the Municipal Corporations Act, which replaced the local government system based on district councils in Canada West by government at the county level. It also granted more autonomy to townships, villages, towns and cities.
- the Amnesty Act which offered pardons to all those involved in the Rebellions of 1837-8.
Seats in the Canada East remained at 41, but Canada West increased by 1 to 43.
The Speaker of this parliament was Augustin Norbert Morin.
