What I've tried to say is that when the Governor General is faced with a decision on prorogation, it necessarily requires an analysis of the particular circumstances that exist, and I do not think there is some absolute rule, or set of rules, that she will be able to consult that would give her the correct answer. It necessarily will be principles or considerations that are somewhat general.
The considerations I have articulated today are the ones that were relevant then. In another case, there may be other considerations, and I do not think we can predict in advance or set out a list of what those principles are. That is why I believe the current system, which allows for this discretion to be exercised, is appropriate.
One possibility would be to ask the Governor General to give reasons for her decision, but I do not think that would be wise either. I think it would be preferable for us to retain the current situation because that will allow these precedents to evolve over time.
