Good morning. Thank you very much for clarifying certain things.
When it comes to limiting discretionary powers, I do not think that even if a consensus was reached by the three party leaders, the prorogation issue would be resolved and the decision ultimately made would be the best possible one.
Could you explain to me what the reasons behind the Governor General's decisions were? You say that she made two good decisions. You have analyzed the circumstances that led to two prorogations, in 2008 and in 2009. Despite the Prime Minister's request that she prorogue Parliament, the Governor General must also have examined the circumstances on which to base her decision to prorogue Parliament. You have listed some principles to consider; would the principles that played a part in her decision be the same? You said that there may be some doubts, that in such cases... What is the political impact of such a decision?
You say that the decision to prorogue Parliament for the second time had political ramifications because the coalition was not strong enough. I expected you to tell us more about specific or general basic principles or regulations that could explain the Governor General's decision.
