Usage
This template (or its redirected alternative version {{QuebecMLAbio}}) creates a citation link to the biography page at the National Assembly of Quebec website of a parliamentarian in Quebec (or its predecessor entities, Lower Canada and Canada East) who ever held an elective office (even if later appointed to a non-elective body).
This includes members of the following elective bodies:
- The present-day unicameral house, the National Assembly of Quebec
- The above under its former name of Legislative Assembly of Quebec (1867 until name change on December 31, 1968)
- The Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada 1841–1867, for Canada East
- The Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada 1792–1838
Note: there was no elected house from 1838 to 1841, in the aftermath of the Lower Canada Rebellion.
Use {{QuebecMLCbio}} instead for parliamentarians who never held an elective office.
This includes members of the following non-elective, appointed bodies:
- the Legislative Council of Quebec (1867 until abolition on December 31, 1968)
- the Legislative Council of the Province of Canada 1841–1867, for Canada East (elective from 1856–1867)
- the Special Council of Lower Canada 1838–1841
- the Legislative Council of Lower Canada 1792–1838
