Committees allow for an in-depth review of issues and permit public and stakeholder input into the legislative process through written submissions and hearings.
The basis for the mandate and powers for each standing committee is set out in the Standing Orders. A government motion often sets the mandate for select special committees.
A committee is the master of its own proceedings, but its activities must remain within an established scope of business outlined in the Standing Orders.
Since July 6, 2020 members of the public and media have been able to register to attend committee meetings in person and in accordance with prescribed health protocols. The health and safety of Members, staff, and visitors remains the top priority for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.Beginning November 16, 2020 the public galleries in the Chamber and in committee rooms will be closed until further notice, in accordance with increased health measures.
As always, the proceedings of the committees can also be viewed on Assembly Online and Assembly TV.
