Hansard is the name given throughout the Commonwealth to the
daily printed record of the debates of parliament. Political reformer William Cobbett
introduced Britain's first record
of parliamentary debates in 1810 but later sold his interest in the
debates to the Hansard family, printers to the British House of
Commons. Although the Hansard family only produced the record of
debates from 1812 to 1888, the report retained the Hansard name by
which it is known today.
Hansard has been a part of Canada's parliamentary heritage since
1880 and a part of Alberta's legislative history since 1972.
