Thank you.
You made reference to the idea that the Constitution could be amended to permit some kind of restriction on the power of prorogation. As I look at it, there are two ways of accomplishing this, and I'm just wondering which you think is the better.
Section 44 of the amending formula states, and I'm quoting here: “Parliament may exclusively make laws amending the Constitution of Canada in relation to the executive government of Canada or the Senate and House of Commons.” That suggests a unilateral amendment as long as it's done by means of legislation, as opposed to a motion. But then section 41 requires that when dealing with the office of the Queen or the Governor General you have to have the consent of all the provinces as well as of Parliament. I'm just wondering which of the two strikes you as being the likely or more appropriate one.
