Abstract

CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS HAS ALWAYS HAS "A SYSTEM" OF STANDING COMMITTEES, BUT UNTIL RECENTLY LITTLE USE WAS MADE OF THEM. AN INCREASING LEGISLATIVE BURDEN LED TO A REVIVAL OF COMMITTEES BETWEEN 1958 & 1962, BUT THEY WERE ILL-ADAPTED TO THE DEMANDS MADE UPON THEM: THEY WERE TOO LARGE, POORLY-ATTENDED, LACKED ADEQUATE POWERS AND WERE NOT AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.
