ABSTRACT
Committees have changed over the years and are ever adapting to the new expectations placed on them and on Parliament. To remain relevant, committees will have to continue to change and evolve. The main purpose of a committee, and in fact, of the Parliament is to hold the government accountable. As government continues to play an important role in the development of society and the provision of public services such as health care and education, Parliament through its committees will have to bolster its efforts to review government policy and expenditure estimates and report to the people.
