While the MPs elected to the provincial legislatures in most English-Canadian Canadian provinces are referred to as MLAs ("Members of the Legislative Assembly"), in Ontario, they are known as MPPs ("Members of Provincial Parliament").

That said, even in Ontario, the legislature is not called "Provincial Parliament", but is called "The Legislative Assembly of Ontario". The metonym for Ontario's government is "Queen's Park", a term which refers from the land on which the actual building housing this unicameral legislature is located (that land itself is leased to Her Majesty in Right of Ontario by the University of Toronto for 999 years since 1859).

In Quebec, members of that Province's legislature are known to Anglo-Quebecers as MNAs ("Members of the National Assembly").
