the Hill

The publication of House proceedings and parliamentary information is a key component of our democratic system that makes Parliament accessible to all Canadians. It is the House of Commons’ responsibility to ensure that the Canadian public is able to stay informed and get involved in the parliamentary process and in Members’ work.

Members’
Snapshot

Members of Parliament are elected by their constituents to represent them in the House of Commons. Their work and activities are as varied as the many regions of the country and the people who live here.

Members’
Activities

Members of the House of Commons have a wide range of responsibilities. For a better understanding of their work, let’s look at where their work was done over the past year.

House of Commons
Administration

The House of Commons Administration (House Administration) is dedicated to providing quality services and expert advice to Members of Parliament to support them in their parliamentary duties as legislators and representatives in the Chamber, in committees, in caucus, and in their offices on Parliament Hill and in their constituency.

Reporting
on Results

The House Administration relies on its vision, mission, core values, and priorities for guidance on how to best support the House of Commons and the work of Members of Parliament. The Strategic Plan 2019–2023 has served as a valuable roadmap, enabling many important achievements.

Financial
Information

This section presents a snapshot of 2022–2023 financial information regarding Members of Parliament and the House Administration. For more information on the proactive publication of financial information, see the Reports and Disclosure section of ourcommons.ca.
