Let me respond briefly. First of all, if the change were made...I'm not saying there should be no change to the current rules because I'm not familiar with all the rules that exist, so I wouldn't want to go that far. I do not think a categorical rule that says any prorogation request over seven days could not be made without the approval of the House would be a wise thing to do. In general, it seems to me that some of the proposals I've seen do not seem to me to be wise.
With respect to the process for the appointment of the Governor General, I don't refer necessarily to an agreement. I think it should be a process whereby consensus of the parties in the House is obtained before a name is put forward. It seems to me such a practice exists with appointment of officers of Parliament. If you cannot get concurrence of the parties for a particular candidate, that candidate ought not to be put forward as Governor General. I do not think it means you will not be able to find a suitable or acceptable candidate. I don't think it would be wise to proceed on the basis of votes or some other principle.
