Research services

The Director of Parliamentary Research and Research Officer provide confidential, non-partisan research at the request of individual members. Members are encouraged to consult them for a variety of research needs, which might include (but are not limited to):

• Background research on issues brought forward by constituents
• Background research toward the drafting of a bill, motion or statement
• Summaries of other jurisdictions’ legislation on a given issue
• Retrieval of information or statistics from provincial offices and external agencies
• Information gathering for conference presentations

Research is delivered as a written brief in paper and electronic form, and researchers can provide in-person briefings to members and committees upon request.

Research support to committees is also available.
