From time to time the Committee may choose to study such programs and policies, but specific information on the government’s foreign policy, relations with other countries and Canadian participation in international organizations is available from the appropriate departments and agencies:

• Foreign Affairs Canada and International Trade Canada (reintegrated as one department in February 2006)

Sometimes. Depending on what the Committee chooses to study, some information may be obtained on these subjects from reports prepared by the Committee (see Past Work) or the testimony at Committee meetings, available on this Web site. Other committees may also have relevant testimony.

Foreign Affairs Canada, International Trade Canada and the Canadian International Development Agency maintain extensive Web sites with information about Canadian foreign policy, political and economic relations with other countries, development programs, trade and investment opportunities, the political and economic situations in other countries, international organizations, and more.
