What happens during the Committee Stage of a bill becoming law?

  1. The bill is considered read and printed

  2. Members debate the bill's principle

  3. The committee studies the bill clause by clause

  4. The bill receives royal assent

The correct answer is: The committee studies the bill clause by clause

During the Committee Stage of a bill becoming law, the committee studies the bill clause by clause. This allows for a more detailed examination of the bill and any potential amendments that may be necessary. Option A is not accurate as the bill is already considered read and printed before the committee stage. Option B is incorrect as the principle of the bill is typically debated during the Second Reading stage. Option D is also incorrect as royal assent is only given after the bill has passed through all stages in both the House of Commons and the Senate.
