Parliament of Canada - The House of Commons

** Please note that this is a legacy video. Centre Block temporarily closed for rehabilitation in 2019. Visit learn.parl.ca for information about the current sites of the Senate and the House of Commons. **

The House of Commons Chamber, at the west end of the Centre Block, is decorated in green in the tradition of the British House of Commons. Stone carvings, stained glass windows and other artistic representations of Canada's history decorate the Chamber, as a constant reminder of the Canadians that Members of Parliament represent and serve.

MPs are elected to represent Canada's 343 constituencies. In the Commons Chamber, Members devote most of their time to debating and voting on bills. The Chamber is also a place where Members represent constituents' views, discuss national issues and call on the government to explain its actions.
