Description
Parliamentary privilege refers to certain immunities from the law provided to Members of Parliament in order for them to do their legislative work. It also protects the right of Parliament to perform its constitutional functions. This article outlines the extent and limitations of parliamentary privilege and gives some examples of privilege and the process for dealing with such questions. Parliamentary privilege is a shorthand term. The term "privilege" usually conveys the idea of a "privileged class", with a person or group granted special rights or immunities beyond the common advantages of others. This is not, however, the meaning of privilege in the parliamentary context. Parliamentary privilege refers to the rights and immunities that are deemed necessary for the Senate and the House of Commons, as institutions, and Senators and Members representing constituencies, to fulfil their functions. It also refers to the powers possessed by each House to protect itself, its Members, and its procedures from undue interference, so that it can effectively carry out its principal functions which are to inquire, to debate, and to legislate. In that sense, parliamentary privilege can be viewed as special advantages which Parliament and its Members need to function unimpeded.
