Responsibilities of the committees
As the technical bodies of the National Transition Council, the committees study texts before the plenary, exercise oversight on behalf of the institution and cover, through their areas of competence, every sector of government action.
Oversee
At the invitation of the CNT, the committees conduct information and inquiry missions on questions within their competence, and may hear members of the Government.
Covering every sector
The name of each committee reflects its area of competence and matches that of the ministries: the CNT thus covers every field of government action.

In practice
The path of a text through committee
From referral to public sitting, the competent committee examines the text and informs the plenary through its report.
-
Step 1
Referral
The bill or private member's bill is tabled and then referred to the competent committee.
-
Step 2
Examination
The rapporteur analyses the text, makes the useful contacts and requests the necessary hearings, including of ministers.
-
Step 3
Report
The committee deliberates and adopts its report; its president may withdraw it from the plenary agenda.
-
Step 4
Plenary
The text is debated and voted on in public sitting; a parliamentary secretary countersigns the adopted texts.
Outline diagram drawn up from the Rules of Procedure; precise deadlines and arrangements depend on each referral.
The tools of oversight
Fact-finding missionsGather information on a public policy within the committee's remit.
Parliamentary inquiriesEstablish the facts on a specific question, at the request of the CNT.
Field visitsSee for themselves, on the ground, how laws and programmes are implemented.
HearingsHear ministers, government departments and the stakeholders concerned by a text.
Specific purpose
Special and temporary committees
For a specific purpose, the CNT may set up within it a special and temporary committee, dissolved once its mission is accomplished.
It may also bring several general committees together as a joint committee to examine a cross-cutting text.
