This fonds consists of correspondence, agendas, memos, fact sheets, briefing materials, records of proceedings of meetings and records of trips undertaken by the Speaker of the House of Commons.

The records deal with protocol aspects of the office of the Speaker. He received delegates and representatives from both national parliamentary institutions and from international parliamentary agencies and bodies. The speaker's interests in these areas were the promotion of parliamentary democracy, as well as the role of speakers in parliamentary institutions.

The Speaker, as the key officer of the Canadian Parliament, was often visited by national representatives of various countries immediately upon their posting to Canada.

This fonds captures and reflects the Speaker's activity in these areas over the period 1994-2000. Madame Mariette Grant, as the executive official responsible for the Speaker's contacts with representatives of foreign governments, both at home and abroad, was the key individual in preparing briefings for the Speaker, as well as recording the proceedings and results of such meetings.

The fonds consists of the following series: Correspondence, 1994-1995; Speaker's Visits to Countries, 1995-1999; Co-operation and Liaison Activities, 1994-1999; Speaker's Calls, Visits and Correspondence, 1994-2000; Speaker's Meetings with Foreign Government Representatives, 1994-1997; and Courtesy Calls on Speaker, 1997-1999.
