Office of Parliamentary Counsel

The Office of Parliamentary Counsel is a government office responsible for drafting and preparing legal documents that create or amend laws, such as bills and statutes. They ensure these documents are legally accurate, clear, and consistent with existing legislation. Their work is essential for translating political decisions into formal legal texts that can be enacted into law and properly understood and applied. Essentially, they act as legal language specialists for the legislative process, helping to turn ideas into precise legal documents that form the basis of a country’s laws.
