About the NFFN Committee

The Standing Senate Committee on National Finance has the mandate to examine matters relating to federal estimates generally, including the public accounts, reports of the Auditor General and government finance.

As is customary, much of the committee’s attention and time is devoted to the estimates which outline the government’s expenditure plans. The committee also has legislation referred to it from time to time. Most of the bills referred to the committee are related to government spending or implementation of measures announced in the government’s budget speech.

In addition, the committee investigates other topics, such as the COVID-19 crisis and the Phoenix pay system.
