Glossary of terms for parliamentary returns / Office for the Coordination for Parliamentary Returns.CP22-88/2025E-PDF

"The purpose of this glossary is to help Parliamentarians frame written questions on the Order Paper of the House of Commons or the Senate that request information from the Government of Canada in the form of a Parliamentary return. Part I defines federal Government institutions and other federal interests by organizational form and Ministerial portfolio. It also describes how organizational terms used in written questions will be interpreted to assign institutions to produce a response from the ministry. Part II lists Government of Canada financial and accounting terms that may be used in a written question to assist the ministry to search for and provide the requested information"--Introduction, page 2.
