National Assembly is used in two distinct but related senses. In Canadian usage, it specifically refers to the Assemblée nationale du Québec, the provincial legislature of Quebec — the preferred term reflecting Quebec's distinct French-language political identity. More broadly, the phrase is used internationally to describe a country's primary legislative body. The term tends to appear in formal or political contexts and carries an air of civic seriousness rather than colloquial register.
The bill passed the National Assembly in Quebec City after weeks of heated debate.
