Reports

There are two broad categories of Senate Committees’ reports, all with specific purposes:

Administrative: reporting on past expenses, requesting powers (to travel, to televise, for example) or to request budgetary approval, or other financial reports;

Substantive:

• Legislative: reporting on bills referred to a committee;
• Special Study: reporting on special studies referred to a committee.

Below is a list of substantive reports of Senate committees (Standing, Special and Joint) during the current session of Parliament.

For substantive reports from previous sessions and previous Parliaments, please refer to the Library of Parliament archives.
