One of the largest annual gatherings of Commonwealth Parliamentarians took place at the 65th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference (CPC) hosted by the CPA Canada Region in Halifax, Canada.

The annual flagship event brought together over 500 Parliamentarians, parliamentary staff and decision makers from across the Commonwealth for this unique conference and networking opportunity.

During the 65th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference, there were a number of conferences and meetings including:
