Committee of the Whole is the entire membership of the House of Commons sitting as a committee. Each time the House resolves itself into a Committee of the Whole to deliberate on a specific matter, a new committee is created. Once that committee has completed its business, it ceases to exist. Over the span of a session, many Committees of the Whole can be created on an ad hoc basis. 4, record 2, English, - committee%20of%20the%20Whole

Lorsque l’ensemble des députés de la Chambre des communes se réunissent en comité, ils forment un comité plénier. Chaque fois que la Chambre se constitue en comité plénier pour étudier une question précise, un nouveau comité est créé. Une fois que le comité a terminé ses travaux, il cesse d’exister. Au cours d’une session, plusieurs comités pléniers peuvent donc être mis sur pied. 4, record 2, French, - comit%C3%A9%20pl%C3%A9nier
