Mr. Rodriguez, governing involves planning, which you haven't done since your government was elected in 2019. It would have been easy to plan for a Speech from the Throne and still let Parliament run. You could have prorogued Parliament on September 18, as suggested by all the experts who appeared before this committee. Parliament should have been shut down for as short a time as possible so that we could do our job.
Why didn't you wait until September 18, so that the committees could continue to work on the WE Charity scandal?
