Committee activities and expenditures, April 1, 2016-August 31, 2016 : report of the Liaison Committee / Hon. Judy Sgro, P.C., M.P., chair.: XC65-1/1-421-3E-PDF

"The Liaison Committee, composed ex officio of the Chairs of all the standing committees and the House Co-Chairs of standing joint committees, is empowered to deliberate on administrative matters relating to the standing committee system. Its main responsibility is to apportion funds to standing committees from the money allocated for that purpose by the Board of Internal Economy. A global envelope for committee activities of $2.3M, temporarily increased to $3.1M for the 2016-2017 fiscal year, is available to committees for regular operational, study and travel budgets, as well as professional services. To this end, in June 2013, the Committee approved the creation of the Committee Activities and Expenditures reports. As their name suggests, these reports, which are presented three times per fiscal year, present cumulative financial information on the committees’ expenditures and the work they are doing. This is the final step in the life cycle of committee activities after the committees have been delegated their mandate, have identified their objectives and determined how to fulfill them, prepared studies or travel budgets, secured the necessary funding from the global envelope for committee activities and completed their studies"--Intro., p. 3.
