It is unusual for senators to enter the elected House of Commons. Generally, this takes place when foreign heads of State or Government address the members of both Houses (this usually takes place in the Commons chamber, due to its larger size). For most state ceremonial functions, members of the House of Commons instead attend the bar of the Senate chamber.
