The Legislative Assembly contains 52 seats, including those of the premier and the members of the executive council. Members of the legislature are popularly elected to a 5-year term; however, the lieutenant governor, on the advice of the premier, ova Scotia is represented by 10 senators appointed by the Canadian governor-general in council and by 11 members in the House of Commons popularly elected to serve terms of up to five years in the Canadian Parliament.
