"Who can be part of the Parliamentary Corporation"

Illustration for Parliament Bill

You will be a member of the Parliamentary Corporation if you are the Speaker, the chief executive, or one of the 2 other persons appointed by the Parliamentary Service Commission under section 155(1)(b). You can resign from the Corporation by giving written notice to the chairperson. If you are appointed by the Commission, you will stop being a member if the Commission revokes your appointment or if you stop being a Commission member. If you are a Corporation member when a Parliament ends, you will keep being a member until the first meeting of the House of Representatives after the next general election. This rule still applies even if you stop being a Commission member. The Parliamentary Service Commission has the power to decide who will be a member of the Corporation.
