Interviews with parliamentary staff and staff of the general secretariat (or equivalent). Expert review of the three most recent bills initiated by MPs at the end of the calendar year preceding the assessment and the comments provided by the government. The government is considered to have systematically reviewed parliamentary bills if the bills were submitted to the government for review, and the government provided its opinion. Point allocation: • 1 point = all three bills were systematically reviewed by the government. • 0 points = two or less of the bills were reviewed by the government.
