Committee Assignments

Committees are central to the operations of the House of Commons for at least three basic reasons:

• they allow for the detailed examination of complex matters which is more easily done in small groups rather than an entire assembly;
• they offer an opportunity for Members to hear from Canadians and experts on topics of national concern and to have these representations placed on the public record; and
• they provide a means for Members to probe into the details of policies and programs, thereby further developing an expertise in specific areas.

Geoff currently serves as a member of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources.
