Summary : Prime Minister Stephen Harper intends to cancel the spring parliamentary break for the loss of six weeks during the Prorogation since Christmas. Among the MPs, there are opposing views to this decision with the opposition accusing Harper of arrogance and irresponsibility.
Excerpt : ”Stephen Harper is showing his arrogance and contempt. He shut down Parliament with a phone call and now wants to change the parliamentary calendar through an internal memo leaked to media,” said Jean-Francois Del Torchio, a spokesman for Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, late Wednesday.
