This compilation contains a selection of substantive reports prepared by the committees of the Senate and the House of Commons, and the interim and final reports of special committees from the first Parliament in 1867 to the current Parliament.
Parliamentary committees report on a variety of subjects. Their reports generally fall into one of three broad categories:
1. Administrative reports: reports on committee membership, expenses, requests and budgetary approvals;
2. Legislative reports: reports on bills; and
3. Substantive reports: reports on special or major topics.
This compilation of reports provides the following information:
• the name of the chair responsible for the report;
• the date a special committee was created or the date of reference to a standing committee;
• the subject of reference;
• the date of substantive reports and their title, if applicable.
Note: Material is compiled from the Journals and Debates of the Senate and the House of Commons and Proceedings of the various committees. ?
