The Subcommittee on Private Members’ Business of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (the “Committee”) is the only subcommittee which is established by the Standing Orders of the House of Commons and that has permanent status. Standing Order 91.1(1) empowers the Subcommittee to review Private Members’ bills and motions that have been placed on the order of precedence following its establishment or replenishment, and designate any of these as non-votable according to criteria adopted by the Committee. The Committee may also mandate the Subcommittee to conduct studies on Private Members’ Business matters and report to it.
