In 24 hours, Parliament will vote on the New Democrat plan to rein-in Harper’s powers by ensuring that prorogation only happens after a vote in Parliament.

Jack Layton’s motion:

“That, in the opinion of the House, the Prime Minister shall not advise the Governor General to prorogue any session of any Parliament for longer than seven calendar days without a specific resolution of this House of Commons to support such a prorogation.”

I want more accountability and call on all MPs to adopt Jack Layton’s plan.
