CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS
The House of Commons of Canada is vastly different from the typical MUN committee experience. Abandon the diplomatic, ordered debate of the United Nations and plunge into the thrilling world of party politics, parliamentary strategy and Question Period. Debate issues that strike closer to home, and connect to how your pursuits, if made real, could deeply affect the future of Canada.
Prospective members should have an interest or a desire to learn more about Canada and Canadian politics, and be prepared to work with fellow party members as a team to achieve political goals. PMRs, the HOC counterpart to position papers, are mandatory for all members, and it is expected that members thoroughly prepare and research their roles. The HOC is a challenging yet exhilarating committee that will undoubtedly grant invaluable insight into the hallowed halls of Canada’s Parliament.
Members of the House of Commons will write Private Members’ Resolutions (PMRs) in lieu of position papers. PMRs are mandatory, and must be submitted by November 15th, 2026, at 23:59 PST. More information about PMRs can be found in the Private Member’s Resolution Guide.

Kyumin Kim | Speaker
As a junior at Mount Douglas Secondary School, Kyumin Kim is thrilled to serve as Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons at SMUSMUN 2026. Although his Model UN journey has been short, it has been incredibly rich. Now, at the end of his second year, Kyumin has grown from a passionate delegate into an experienced staff member. When he is not dropped into a room full of smarties dressed in Western business suits, Kyumin enjoys reading, sleeping, and, most of all, letting his mind wander to the most random thoughts. He looks forward to meeting all the bright and engaging delegates from across the island at this year’s conference and is ready to share a climactic moment in his Model UN journey with them.
