En plus des associations parlementaires et des groupes interparlementaires reconnus par le Conseil interparlementaire mixte (CIM), il existe plusieurs autres groupes interparlementaires, souvent appelés « groupes d’amitié », qui ne reçoivent aucun soutien administratif ou financier du Parlement du Canada.
In addition to those Parliamentary Associations and Interparliamentary Groups which have been recognized by the Joint Interparliamentary Council (JIC), there are a number of other interparliamentary groups, often referred to as “Friendship Groups”, which receive no administrative support or funding from the Parliament of Canada.
