Advisory Role
Certain types of statutory instruments must be examined by the Council and receive its advisory approval, including:
- All draft legislation proposed by non-parliamentary members and prior to being introduced before Parliament.
- Orders-in-council, signed by the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers; any such order is a form of delegated legislation outlining how a statute or act of Parliament is to be carried out or put into effect. Typically, a statutory law will authorize, prescribe, or prohibit an action defined in broad terms and require a government order to define its scope and application.
The Council's advisory workload is divided between its administrative sections with respect to the ministry or department affected by the government order.

“I wish glib and indiscriminate critics of industrialists had some conception of the problems that have to be met by factory management.... General condemnation of employers is a favorite indoor sport of the uninformed intelligentsia who assume the role of lance- bearers for labor.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
