The 44th Parliament was dissolved on March 23, 2025.

Dissolution is the formal ending of a Parliament by proclamation of the Governor General. A general election must follow dissolution. In practice, as soon as Parliament is dissolved, committees can neither sit nor report to the House, as they cease to exist until the House reconstitutes them following the election.

Upon dissolution, all business before committees is terminated. All orders of reference expire, and the Chairs and Vice-Chairs of all committees cease to hold office.

The government is no longer required to provide responses to committee reports.

The information on these pages refers to committees and their work before Parliament was dissolved.
