Committees
In committees, Members undertake studies on departmental spending, legislation and issues related to their mandate, after which they report their conclusions to the House.
As soon as Parliament is prorogued, all committee activities cease and, as such, all orders of reference and committee studies lapse. No committee can sit during a prorogation.
