Parliament has unanimously approved the membership of the Business and the Appointments committees.
The committees were composed based on the approved ratio of 138:137 for the Majority and the Minority caucuses, respectively.
Per the approval, the Business Committee, which will comprise 20 members, will have 10 members for each caucus, while the 26-member Appointments Committee will also have 13 members for each caucus.
While the Business Committee will oversee government businesses the House is to handle, the Appointments Committee will vet and recommend the various government appointees for approval by the House.
The approval was given after a motion had been moved by the Committee of Selection for the House to adopt and approve its report on the membership of the two committees.
