Thus, Canada also holds the permanent Secretariat of CSPOC to support its activities. The Conference was spread over three days, where a number of meetings were held. These included the sessions of the Conference itself, as well as executive meetings pertaining to the Standing Committee, of which Malta holds the British Isles and Mediterranean representation up until the start of the Conference and was re-elected for a second term (2018-2020). The Standing Committee oversees CSPOC activities. It is composed of 15 members. The Committee is chaired by the Speaker of the lower House of the jurisdiction hosting the next conference. In accordance with the Standing Rules, the Committee membership is composed of regional representatives and three ex-officio members (the last host, the current host and the next hosting member).
