# How much influence do parliamentary standing committees have over a bill?

I’m trying to understand what happens to a bill after it is referred to a parliamentary standing committee. Members can examine details and hear from experts, but the committee’s recommendations are not necessarily binding.

In practice, how often do committee reviews lead to meaningful changes in legislation? Does their influence depend more on the bill’s subject, the government’s willingness to revise it, or the balance of parties on the committee?
