A committees order of reference is the Order of the Senate that authorizes it to
examine a bill or to undertake a special study. Most committees require an order of
reference before they can undertake such work. Two standing committees do, however, have
permanent orders of reference, allowing them to undertake their work without waiting for a
specific order of reference. These are the Committee on Privileges, Standing Rules and
Orders (responsible for proposing amendments to the rules of the Senate, examining
questions of privilege and consideration of the orders and customs of the Senate and
privileges of Parliament) and the Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and
Administration (responsible for the financial and administrative matters relating to the
internal management of the Senate).
