Government documents are important sources for setting legislation and policy developments. Often the recommendations that come out of government reports help influence budget allocations and how government policy and legislation is developed. These reports also cast a lens on where there are deficiencies, problems and under funding. Often a Standing Committee Report will be referred to by the last name of the Committee's Chair (Romanov Report, Gove Report, Kirby Report).
The Parliament of Canada and Legislative Assembly of British Columbia are good places to search for federal and provincial information.
