I don't trust myself, Mr. Chair. I want to make sure I keep within my time limits.
Welcome, Professor Pelletier. It's a pleasure to have you here.
One of the things I thought would be helpful for us as we go through this process of looking at prorogation, and legitimate limits on prorogation, is looking for some comparison elsewhere, in particular examples from other Westminster systems, other countries that use the same system, and more particularly what has happened in the experience of Canada's provinces.
I find we don't get as much useful material as we might hope to find. The phenomenon of repeated minority governments is something that doesn't occur that often, either in Canadian federal practice--it did occur in the 1960s and back in the 1920s--or in provincial practice. I think I'm right in saying that in Quebec there's only been one minority government in the past century. Is that correct?
