The Compendium is a collection of articles
on specialized procedural topics. It is
designed to help people who need to better
understand the workings of the House of Commons and
its committees.
The Compendium replaces the Précis of Procedure
and the Fact Sheets on Procedure with a single
on-line source of up-to-date procedural
information.
This reference site consists of general articles,
from which users can link to more detailed
articles. By choosing a subject in the left menu
bar, you will be routed to the general article.
From there you may click on links to specific
topics and a new window will appear containing a
detailed description. You may also choose to use
our site-specific search option or browse the Site Map or the
Alphabetical List of Articles
to find the subject you are looking for.
For more information on how to use this site
