Committees
There are two forms which Committees can take. The first, Standing Committees, are struck for the duration of the Parliament pursuant to Standing Orders. The second, Select Committees, are struck usually by a Motion or an Order of the House to consider a specific Bill or issue which would otherwise monopolize the time of the Standing Committees.
