The 36th General Assembly of Prince Edward Island was in session from February 2, 1908 to December 5, 1911. The Liberal Party led by Francis Haszard formed the government. After Haszard accepted an appointment to the province's Supreme Court, Herbert James Palmer became Liberal party leader and Premier in May 1911; when he ran for reelection on November 15, 1911, he was defeated and the Liberals lost their majority, forcing an election.
There were three sessions of the 36th General Assembly:
| Session | Start | End |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | February 2, 1908 | March 22, 1908 |
| 2nd | February 15, 1910 | April 8, 1910 |
| 3rd | March 7, 1911 | April 26, 1911 |
Matthew Smith was elected speaker.

“In truth, a mature man who uses hair-oil, unless medicinally, that man has probably got a quoggy spot in him somewhere. As a general rule, he can’t amount to much in his totality.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Our assembly being now formed not by ourselves but by the goodwill and sprightly imagination of our readers, we have nothing to do but to draw up the curtain ... and to discover our chief personage on the stage.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.”
—Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)
“The shifting islands! who would not be willing that his house should be undermined by such a foe! The inhabitant of an island can tell what currents formed the land which he cultivates; and his earth is still being created or destroyed. There before his door, perchance, still empties the stream which brought down the material of his farm ages before, and is still bringing it down or washing it away,—the graceful, gentle robber!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
