Our government has routinely used prorogation in the functioning of our legislature, as you will find in all legislatures. We routinely brought our parliamentary program to the end, roughly every mid- to late June, essentially every year, so we could do a throne speech and a new budget the following year. The Saskatchewan legislature ran on a fairly predictable routine. It was well understood by all the members, including that government bills that did not pass by the end of June typically died on the order paper.
It might interest you to know that this routine on prorogation significantly empowered the opposition. What they would do and the result.... I don't know if this still happens; I haven't looked at proceedings in the Saskatchewan legislature for some time. But certainly when I was there, the opposition would hold up all the bills until the last two or three days, knowing full well that they were all about to die on the order paper. And then there would be this fascinating political discussion in the last days of the session on what was going to go and what would not go. So in that way, prorogation actually worked for the opposition.
