Dissolution of Parliament
The 44th Parliament was dissolved on Sunday, March 23, 2025.
Information about dissolution
Information about dissolution can be found in Our Procedure.
In the House
In the House
In the House, Members come together to make laws, hold the government to account and decide on the affairs of the country.
- House Publications All editions of the Debates, Journals, and Order Paper and Notice Paper.
- Status of House Business Cumulative information on the status of business before the House, updated after each sitting.
- Votes Listing of all recorded divisions, showing the names of those voting for and against a proposal.
- Bills (LEGISinfo) Research tool for finding information on legislation before Parliament.
Committees
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.
Upon dissolution, all business before committees is terminated and all committees, without exception, cease to exist until the House reconstitutes them following the election.
All orders of reference expire, and the Chairs and Vice-Chairs of all committees cease to hold office. Until committees are reconstituted in the first session of a new Parliament, they have no members.
The effect of dissolution upon committees is essentially the same as that of prorogation, although the government is no longer required to provide comprehensive responses to committee reports. In addition, all Committee orders, if any, for the appearance of witnesses or the production of papers become null and void.
To obtain further information about the effect of dissolution on committees, please consult the “Committee Lifespans”section of Chapter 20 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Third Edition, 2017, or the “Dissolution” section of Our Procedure.
There are no meetings planned for that date.
