What does an MPP do?

Every MPP performs three main roles

1. Serving his or her constituency

  • represents their views and helping them deal with the vast bureaucracy of government
  • meets with constituents and attends local events

  • debates legislation in the house and committees
  • introduces private member’s bills and resolutions to promote policy ideas and effect change
  • presents petitions from constituents on important issues


3. Promoting his or her party and its ideas

  • This is the political role of the MPP

  • this job has to be kept separate from the those functions paid for by the taxpayer
