Explanation:

Standing committees are permanent legislative committees set up in different points in time by the Senate and the House of Representative.

They are usually the first to consider, evaluate, modify, or reject legislation related to the issues that the standing committee focuses on. For example, the standing committee of the House of Representatives evaluates legislation related to national security affairs and terrorism threats.
