The government can appoint committees/state investigations to investigate a specific issue or area. The committees' assignments are given in the form of a committee directive and often involve gathering facts, analyzing them, and making proposals. The Committee Ordinance sets the framework for the committee's work. A committee is an independent authority separate from the government.
