House of Commons Standing Committees

House of Commons Standing Committees are specialized groups of Members of Parliament (MPs) tasked with examining specific issues or government activities in detail. They review proposed laws (bills), scrutinize government spending and policies, and gather expertise and public input. These committees operate regularly over time, focusing on areas like finance, health, or foreign affairs. Their work helps ensure transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making in government, influencing legislation and public policy through detailed analysis and recommendations.
