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.
