Legislative Assembly of Ontario Website Launches New Hansard Search

The Legislative Assembly of Ontario has updated its search tool for legislative debates ("Hansard").

The new search tool comes with a list of useful search tips.

Enhancements to the interface include:       

• a modern, accessible design that is user- and mobile-friendly;
• results appear on the same page as the tool (you no longer need to navigate back to edit search fields);
• a bilingual interface and search tips 

When viewing search results, you can now:

• choose how many results display on the page (20, 50, or 100);
• order search results by date, speaker, or topic;
• filter results by speaker, topic, type of business, and session;
• see an excerpt from Hansard where the search terms appear
