It would need some kind of committee in which all the stakeholders would take part. It could reflect on more precise rules to ensure that opposition parties would also be consulted on such a move and that everyone would agree on certain rules. In the case of prorogation, accepting it is one thing, but there is also how long it will last. Often that is what shocks opposition parties. We are here to sit, to defend legislation. In our committees, we have been left hanging. There was something frustrating in that, because we were no longer able to do the work that parliamentarians are supposed to do. We came back to the House in March. The session is out of balance because it was chopped by five weeks. We have less time in which to work in our committees. We are suffering the consequences.
Perhaps prorogation could have been better identified in terms of its justification and its duration. But it has to be said that, in one way, that makes no sense, because, before this session ends, we are not going to be able to deal with bills that come back to the Order Paper.
