Liberal Minority Government 2021 - ????

[brihard]

have you thought of the time line? Parliament resumes in late March and rises for the summer in June. All the legislation that was before parliament is dead unless there is majority consent to bring it back to the table. Good luck with that in two months. When Parliament returns after the summer break it will have no more than a week or two including throne speech and its inevitable debate before an election must be called. No, if he carries on with this threat, he has written off the NDP

LPC and NDP combined have the majority to bring stuff back to the table. At this point, NDP’s wants (particularly more fleshed out pharmacare) are more regulatory than legislative. That can and does continue through prorogues and summer breaks.

But I understand why conservatives are upset

You mean "I understand why CANADIANS are upset..." 77% of Canadians want an election NOW and a new mandate. Period. End of discussion. Not just me either.

"Bills that have not received Royal Assent are terminated and must be reintroduced in the new session. This is accomplished either with the unanimous consent of the House or through the adoption of a motion to that effect. However, prorogation has no practical effect on Private Members’ Business (proposals introduced by members who are not cabinet ministers or parliamentary secretaries) as they continue from session to session."

Good luck getting UNANIMOUS consent. Start the bills from square one. So in other words, not likely going to happen.

100% agreed. I think what is happening here is some people are still clinging to hope that some miracle that the CPC momentum will suddenly die out. I think it will increase if they delay the election post spring.

They won’t be square one. They can reintroduce them for first reading in whatever state they left committee. While not a full reset by any means, that would speed progress in whatever limited selection they choose to revive.

No I understand why Canadians are upset. But also why conservatives are as well. They can see the prize so close but can’t quite get it.

End of discussion lol ok. Sounds good to me.

Come again? You need unanimous consent t continue otherwise you have to re-introduce the bill. Only private members bill can pick back up.

Hey I see what you did there. Canadians = Conservatives, awesome of you to state that.

and on the end of discussion, I have received a few of "not talking to you, have a good night" dismissals from you, so take no offence to it.

Go back and read it again more slowly.

I didn’t take offence. I’m more than happy to acquiesce to your declaration that the discussion is over.

Cheers.

Survey says: "Three-quarters say ‘bring back parliament’ – but do they want to deal with Trump or to trigger an election?"

Three-quarters say ‘bring back parliament’ - but do they want to deal with Trump or to trigger an election? -

Majority say it should be a ‘Canada First’ approach to Trump; Albertans most likely to disagree January 30, 2025 – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prorogued parliament on Jan. 6 and sent the Liberal Party of Canada into a search for his successor, but that hasn’t meant any slowdown in cross-border...

Some highlights

• "Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has recently called Canada “weaker than ever” in his statement asking that parliament be recalled. Half of Canadians (53%) agree with this statement, while two-in-five (41%) disagree

• That said, Canadians are also five times as likely to say that public statements about Canada’s weakness are “harmful” (51%) to negotiations, rather than helpful (11%). A plurality of would-be CPC voters say it makes no difference (46%) while the vast majority of all other voters say it hurts Canada’s position."

And whose priorities should premiers be considering first?
