On June 16, 2017, the House adopted a motion regarding the 2018 House of Commons calendar.
The sitting calendar establishes a schedule of sitting periods, separated by adjournments. The calendar comes into effect once a session starts and remains in effect for its duration. The House stands adjourned when it is not meeting, as well as when it is neither prorogued nor dissolved. During an adjournment, the House may be recalled by the Speaker, on the advice of the government.
The House stands adjourned from June 21, 2017 until Monday, September 18, 2017.
The House usually adjourns on weekends and statutory holidays, during the holiday season and summer recess, as well as during specific weeks designated in its calendar. Committees can sit when the House is sitting or when it stands adjourned.
To learn more about adjournment, consult the Compendium of Procedure.
