Studies & Bills
- Most Senate committees require an order of reference before they can undertake such work.
- An order of reference is a decision of the Senate, authorizing a committee to study a proposed law, government spending or a specific subject related to the mandate of the committee. An order of reference might specify what subjects a study should cover, how long it should take to complete, and other important details. It establishes the scope of the study and may give other powers the committee needs to conduct the study.
- Certain Senate committees have permanent orders of reference and are empowered by the Rules of the Senate to act on their own initiative without additional authority from the Senate.
- Below is a list of orders of reference that this committee has been authorized to undertake by the Senate or is empowered to act on their own initiative.
- You will also find for each order of reference:
- meeting dates and witness details,
- publicly available briefs and documents,
- minutes of proceedings, transcripts and video or audio recordings of public meetings (when applicable).
- Once the committee has completed its study, a link to its report to the Senate will also be posted here.
