Norman Spector has taken up a lonely task in defending Stephen Harper's right to shutter the people's elected House at his whim (Does Michael Ignatieff Really Want This Constitutional Dance? - Feb. 2).
He imagines months of "secret backroom discussions" lurking behind opposition proposals to limit prorogation powers, but this is not correct at all. It is average Canadians who are demanding limits, and though Mr. Ignatieff has not been inclined to co-operate with New Democrats in the past, it made good sense to meet with my Liberal counterpart last week to discuss bringing our prorogation proposals together. I'm hopeful we can get results for Canadians sooner than later.
