The House of Commons is the primary legislative body of the government, composed of elected representatives who debate and pass laws, scrutinize government policy, and represent their constituents' interests. As the heart of parliamentary democracy, the House ensures government accountability, facilitates public debate on national issues, and shapes policy through legislative processes and committee work.

Currently a 10th grader at Crofton House, Isabella is elated to be serving as the Chair of House of Commons at SPAMUN 2026. Since the beginning of her Model UN journey, she has quickly grown to love the fast-paced, unpredictable nature of debate, and the way every session opens up new perspectives and connections. Whether it's late-night resolution writing or making conversation during unmoderated caucuses, MUN has become one of Isabella’s favourite spaces to learn, laugh, and lead. Outside of MUN, you can find Isabella trying to find yet another keychain for her bag, tuning her guitar for the third time, or mastering the art of procrastination via Instagram.

Outside the committee room, Kaylie enjoys rewatching her favourite TV shows and browsing Uber Eats for cravings—only to decide against ordering due to the delivery fee!
