The House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage has the power to review and report on the policies, programs and expenditure plans of the Department of Canadian Heritage and most of the agencies and Crown corporations within the Portfolio. These policies and programs relate to culture, the arts, heritage, official languages, civic participation, as well as youth, sport and Indigenous culture initiatives. Please note that the House of Commons Standing Committee on Official Languages is responsible for studying the Department’s official languages policies and programs.

The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage studies matters referred to it by the House of Commons and topics that the Committee itself chooses to examine. It holds public meetings and considers evidence from witnesses. At the end of a study, the Committee usually reports on its findings and makes recommendations, and may ask the government to respond to those recommendations.
