"The relationship between the government and the permanent committees of the two Chambers has evolved. In the past, according to the Constitution, the legislative branch was limited to rubber stamping the will of the executive branch; today, the executive branch is forced to negotiate. Yet, while the work of the committees has clearly changed, the government remains in a position of strength during the plenary sessions."
