The Parliament of Canada Web site is an initiative to provide Internet users with quick and easy access to the official publications of Parliament as well as to general, non-partisan information about the role, history, proceedings and activities of the Senate, the House of Commons and the Library of Parliament.
The Parliament of Canada Web site provides a wealth of information on the business and proceedings of the Senate and the House of Commons and their committees; the legislation before Parliament; biographical and contact information on parliamentarians (Senators and Members of the House of Commons); factsheets, compilations and reference guides about the workings and history of Parliament; visitor information and other services for the public; and special parliamentary programs directed at youth, such as the Page and Guide programmes. The information on the site will continue to grow. Consult the About the Site page for announcements about new and upcoming additions to the web site!
The Information Systems Directorate of the House of Commons is responsible for the operations management and technical support for the Internet service. The information on the site and new content development is managed by officials from the Senate, House of Commons and the Library of Parliament.
E-mail addresses for Senators and Members are being added to the Parliament of Canada Web site as they become available.
The production of Committee Evidence requires approximately 15 working days for most committee meetings, due to the transcription, editing, translation and desktop publishing functions. The production of Minutes, on the other hand, normally occurs in much shorter time periods, usually within two working days. These documents are posted on the Parliament of Canada Web site as soon as final copies are available.
The Parliament of Canada Web site sits on the Parliament of Canada server, and is dedicated to providing information specifically for the institutions of Parliament: Senate, House of Commons, and Library of Parliament. The official Government of Canada site, located at http://canada.gc.ca, contains information on the departments, agencies and services of government. The Parliament of Canada Web site is not responsible for any information appearing on the official government site.
