Chapter 16 - Committees
Public and
private meetings
Any person may
attend a public meeting of a committee. Persons other than committee members
and officers of a committee may not attend a deliberative meeting of a
committee, but may be expressly invited to attend other private meetings of
committees (SO 36). A deliberative
meeting is one at which a committee considers proposed actions or decisions,
for example, a meeting at which a draft report is considered to determine
whether it should be the report of the committee. For suspensions of the
standing order to allow the legislative scrutiny committees to invite members
of their state counterpart to their deliberations, see 2/6/2001, J.4368, 26/6/2001, J.4405.
