The MLC

the Midwestern Legislative Conference. The current committee
officers are Rep. Rashida Tlaib (Michigan) and Speaker Steve Peters
(Ontario), co-chairs, and Rep. Ray Merrick (Kansas) and Speaker
George Hickes (Manitoba), co-vice chairs.
The committee last met in August 2010
during the Midwestern Legislative Conference Annual Meeting in
Toronto.

Legislators from each of the 11 Midwestern states are appointed by
their respective legislative leaders to serve on the committee.
Provincial legislators from the provinces of Manitoba, Ontario and
Saskatchewan also serve on the committee. The committee provides a
forum for dialogue between state and provincial legislators on
matters of common interest and concern.
The committee also organizes and
sponsors legislative exchanges between state and
provincial legislators each year. These exchanges provide an
opportunity for legislators from both sides of the border to spend
several days observing the legislative process and to meet
legislative leaders and other officials.
The MLC Midwest-Canada Relations Committee holds an event at the
Ontario Legislative Assembly. The group met in August in conjunction
with the 65th Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Legislative
Conference.
