BILI Library of Parliament
The committee’s work this session has been almost entirely procedural, focused on establishing its own operations rather than examining policy or hearing substantive evidence. The only meeting held was dedicated to electing joint chairs and vice-chairs from both the Senate and the House of Commons, adopting routine motions on agenda-setting, witness invitations, quorum, and bilingual document distribution, and agreeing in principle to request an information session from the Library of Parliament. No witnesses were heard on any subject matter, and no testimony was taken.
The sole substantive topic raised was a proposal from one of the joint chairs to invite the Library of Parliament to brief the committee on plans for the visitor experience in the renovated Centre Block and the new parliamentary welcome centre. Members supported this idea, with one member specifically calling for details on accessibility, official languages, and the visitor experience. However, no such briefing has yet occurred, and no further meetings on this or any other topic have been held.
Because the committee has only met once and taken no testimony, there are no recurring themes, no constituencies or organizations that have been heard from, no points of agreement or disagreement among witnesses, and no changes over time to report. The committee remains at the starting point of its session, with its agenda still to be determined.
