Prorogation a way to combat Liberal legislation

Feb 01, 2010 - 03:29 PM

To the editor:

I will attempt to place a little balance into the publications. I know that south Pickering/Ajax is predominantly Liberal. But here it goes.

Take stock over the past three years or so. Canada is far better off fiscally and financially under the present federal government. The protests over proroguing the Parliament are very small, yet get a great deal of media attention. My understanding of the prorogation of Parliament makes it possible to reform committees on legislation already passed by the House. The Liberals are not being up front totally. They may pass legislation in the House so as not to invoke an election, however they water the legislation down in committee. The watered-down legislation is further changed by the Liberal-dominated senate. So who is really running the show?

The only way to combat Liberals and send the will of the Parliament to law is by prorogation and naming more Conservative senators.

Abolishing the senate cannot be done without constitutional reformation and Provincial consent.
