Then I wanted to ask you a question in regard to the proposed Standing Orders changes. I'm thinking here of the one to which you referred in your February 15 article, a Liberal proposed change to the Standing Orders. It calls for a certain amount of debate, and notice is given ahead of the rising of the House.
Obviously, if this were to be adopted, it contemplates no prorogations being possible when the House is not actually sitting. So it would deal--I'm thinking of the two most recent prorogations--with the situation that took place in December 2008, and presumably it would not deal with the prorogation that was announced on December 30, 2009.
Is it actually possible to rewrite the Standing Orders so as to prohibit a prorogation during a period when the House isn't sitting, or is that in fact a procedural impossibility, in your opinion?
