this is really quite interesting--i've been reading around on this when i've had the chance this afternoon.
my question is rudimentary, i suspect: how that the prorogue (great word) has been granted, how does the state function between now and 26 january?
as i understand it, all remaining business from this session is expunged with the declaration of vacation time...and this is not a state of emergency because officially the parliament is still a body--it does not have to stand for new elections.
i just read the statement from gilles duceppe. he sounds pissy. where would i go to get a better sense of the bq?
