Senate overhauls rules on expenses, transparency, and spells out Internal Economy Committee veto over release of records

The suite of changes to the Upper Chamber’s administrative rules will apply on Nov. 1.

Conservative Senator Leo Housakos speaks to Nicole Proulx, the clerk of the Senate Internal Economy Committee, during a meeting last month. Sen. Housakos is currently the chair of the committee, though that job is one of many chips in play during negotiations between the different groups and caucuses in the Senate, with an agreement on the structure of Senate committees expiring at the end of this month, at the same time as the Senate's existing administrative rules.
