Scope and content
Series consists of 6 file folders of various Legislative Assembly committee reports. Some files contain reports only, some files include transcripts of hearings, meeting minutes, correspondence, financial records and press clippings.
At the beginning of each session, legislative standing committees are usually set up for discussion on specific topics or for some supervisory functions. There have been numerous committees such as: standing rules and orders, agriculture, public accounts, private bills, printing and binding the journals, Legislative Library, engrossing bills, revising the journals, contingent accounts, fox industry and fisheries, and public health. As per the 1940 Assembly Journal, the committee's mandate is "to examine and inquire into all such matters and things as may be referred to them by the House and to report form time to time their observations and opinions thereon, with power to send for persons, papers and records." Legislative standing committees have a membership of 7, with a quorum of 4; some have 5 members with a quorum of 3. The majority of committee members are government members, but may include Ministers and opposition members. In the earlier years committees rarely met, if at all and were rarely assigned any tasks. During the 1940s the only functioning committees were the Contingent accounts, Public Accounts, and Private Bills Committees which met once or twice during a session. Legislative Special Committees usually is a special temporary committee set up to deal with a particular issue for which the government as a whole body is too large to deal with it.
