Parliamentary
Information and Research Service Publications
The Parliamentary Information and Research Service (PIRS) provides a consulting
service for individual parliamentarians, responding to questions that require
research and analysis on legal, economic, scientific, or social science

notes and longer research papers at the request of Senators and Members
of the House of Commons. In some cases, responses are provided to clients
by telephone briefings or by meetings with individual parliamentarians and/or
their staff. Aboriginal Issues
