Standing committees form a majority of the committees established by the House of Commons. Their authority flows from their large number(24) and the variety of studies entrusted to them, but also from the fact that they return session after session as their existence is entrenched in the Standing Orders. Composed of 11 or 12 Members representing all recognized parties in the House, they play a crucial role in the improvement of legislation and the oversight of government activities. 3, record 1, English, - standing%20committee

Les comités permanents constituent la majorité des comités mis sur pied par la Chambre des communes. Leur ascendance est redevable à leur nombre important (24), à la variété des études qui leur sont confiées, mais aussi au fait qu’ils reviennent de session en session puisque leur existence est consignée dans le Règlement. Composés de 11 ou 12 députés représentant tous les partis reconnus à la Chambre, ces comités jouent un rôle crucial dans l’amélioration des mesures législatives et dans la surveillance des activités gouvernementales. 3, record 1, French, - comit%C3%A9%20permanent
