Parliament of Canada Act

This text appears to be a segment of the Parliament of Canada's website, specifically an excerpt from the "Standing Orders of the Senate" (S-14). It provides information on the internal administration and regulations of the Senate.

Key points include:

• The Committee has the capacity of a natural person and can enter into contracts and do things necessary for its functions.
• The Committee has exclusive authority to determine whether senator use of funds, goods, services, or premises is proper for parliamentary functions.
• A senator may apply to the Committee for an opinion on such matters, and during an investigation by a peace officer, the Committee may provide an opinion.
• The issuance of certain processes (e.g., search warrants) related to senator activities requires authorization by a judge of a provincial court.

The document also mentions regulations made under section 19.5, which can govern the use of funds, goods, services, and premises by senators for parliamentary functions, as well as the terms and conditions of management and accounting for such resources.

Overall, this text seems to provide details on how the Senate's Committee operates and makes decisions regarding internal matters, including regulations and opinions related to senator activities.
