Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Update Template:Infobox Parliament The Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly (Template:Langx) is the unicameral deliberative assembly of the General Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> It meets in the Confederation Building in St. John's. Bills passed by the assembly are given royal assent by the lieutenant governor of Newfoundland and Labrador, in the name of the the Sovereign.<ref>Template:Cite canlaw</ref>
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 as the heaters in the Colonial Building were located on the left side. Thus, the government chose to sit near the heat, and leave the opposition sitting in the cold.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
