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.
