POLC07H3: Practicing Model Parliaments: Legislative Assemblies in Canada
This experiential learning course provides students with an in depth understanding of the role and functioning of Legislative Assemblies/Parliaments in Canada, with a focus on Ontario Provincial Politics and key policy issues. Throughout the semester, students will engage in a policy-driven model parliament simulation exercise, culminating in a mock question period at Queen’s Park, and in informal partnership with other GTA political science departments. It will allow students to hone their debating and collaboration-building skills in a political environment.
The Department will endeavour to deliver this course in informal partnership with York University and other GTA politics departments, and with the help of the Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) and the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
