Extrinsic materials are sources that are not included in the statute itself, but help clarify the meaning intended by Parliament. These materials can include Explanatory Memoranda, Hansard, Parliamentary Papers and Law Reform Commission publications.
Extrinsic materials are often found on parliamentary websites, alongside the Bill they discuss. Search for the bill that introduced or amended the provision you are researching, to find associated materials.
