Conduct of Business in Committee
Committee meetings require a quorum, proceedings are governed by rules, and committees may examine witnesses, require documents, and submit reports to Parliament.
Committee rules: they need quorum to operate, can call witnesses (including ministers and officials), demand government documents, and must submit formal reports to Parliament.
