CCOM Canadian Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association

The CPA’s international executive committee (EXCO) meets twice a year, in the spring and just before the annual meeting. This year, however, the meeting was held in August and was held virtually for the first time. The CPA’s constitution authorizes it to control and manage the activities and business of the association. The international executive committee has about 35 members and is led by the chairperson of the CPA. The committee is made up of the officers of the CPA and three representatives from each region (except Africa, which has six representatives given its size). The Canadian Branch was represented by Ms. Yasmin Ratansi, M.P., Chair of the Canadian Branch. This was the first meeting for the new secretary general, Stephen Twigg. The international executive committee also agreed to postpone the next Commonwealth parliamentary conference, which will be held in Canada, until August 2021.
