That reminds me of a point I wanted to make, which is that a private member's bill was passed on a Friday evening, during a sitting. There was a private member's bill passed, which was recounted in John Diefenbaker's memoirs, to change Dominion Day to Canada Day. There was an open question on whether there were enough members sitting in the House for quorum to be held, and there was a question called for quorum that the Speaker did not hear or claimed not to have heard.
To my knowledge—if I'm remembering what I read correctly—Canada Day was created on division. Beautiful words, in this case used for an unfortunate purpose.
