The Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) was established in 1975. The Programme is administered by the Canadian Political Science Association and runs through a financial grant from the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. OLIP is a non-partisan program and is not associated with the Government of Ontario nor with any political party.

Each year, the Programme provides interns the opportunity to work as highly qualified assistants to backbench Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs). The interns write questions, statements, press releases, attended stakeholder meetings and visit the constituency's of their MPPs, among many other activities. In addition to getting the practical experience of the daily workings of the Ontario Legislature, the internship has an academic component which allows each intern to write a paper on a topic of their choice.

Interns also have the opportunity to supplement knowledge of the legislative process through a comparative lens. Every year, the interns visit Ottawa, Quebec City, and London, England. The interns also have the opportunity to choose a destination in either the US or Canada for a Spring visit.

Each year, eight to ten interns are selected from across Canada through a highly competitive process. Internships are based in Toronto, begin each September and last for 10 months. The Programme is open to Canadian citizens, provided that they are a recent graduate of a Canadian University. Prospective interns should also demonstrate an interest in and a knowledge of the legislative process. The Programme welcomes and encourages applicants from all academic backgrounds.

Alumni of the Programme have gone on to pursue a variety of successful careers including positions in government, business, journalism, law and academic life.
