I’m certain this post will be read by only the most die-hard of political geeks and, if so, welcome: You’re among friends here.
And so, for you, we present changes adopted this week by the House of Commons to the rosters of the various standing committees of the House of Commons, recently switched up as new MPs arrived in the House courtesy of last fall’s by-elections but also because one party, the Liberals, has three of its caucus members busy trying to become the leader.
