Bringing together committee Chairs, Members and Clerks, this workshop will facilitate peer-to-peer discussions on how to enhance effective scrutiny of government spending and trade policy. It will aim to discuss the challenges to parliamentary oversight and come up with solutions and techniques for effective committee inquiries.<\/p>\n
