Legislation and House Planning

The Legislation and House Planning Division provides policy advice on legislative initiatives to Cabinet, and advice to the Government House Leader and Cabinet on the development of the government’s legislative agenda as a whole. The division also provides policy and procedural advice to departments and government agencies on the development of legislative initiatives. Legislation and House Planning chairs a committee of central agencies to support the development of policy advice on legislative initiatives.

• Facilitating daily meetings of Cabinet during Session;
• Developing various planning documents and agenda materials;
• Coordinating the review and/or processing of all documents destined for the House; and
• Providing advice related to Legislative Assembly rules, procedures and requirements.
