EyeBrock EyeBrock:
If parliament wants’ to change it’s own rules, let Parliament go for it. If the 14 times the Lib front men (Chretien and Trudeau) prorogued the House for their own political gains grates on you Grits then I’m sure your MP’s will enact change.
It sounds like Iggy read your post.. Good work EyeBrock.
Liberals pledge to prevent abuse of prorogation:
• Require at least 10 days written notice from the Prime Minister of his intention to seek to prorogue, together with his specific reasons for doing so
• Require the Prime Minister to bring the issue of prorogation before the House of Commons for a full debate
• Prevent a request for prorogation within the first year after a Speech from the Throne, unless the House consents
• Prevent a prorogation longer than one calendar month without the consent of the House
• Prevent a request for prorogation if a matter of confidence has been scheduled in the House unless the House consents
• Allow Parliamentary Committees to continue to function during the period when Parliament is prorogued until the start of the new session
