Actually Paul, that talking point does not relaly fly with reality.Technically, the crime legislation - that Harper thought was important enough to browbeat the opposition over regarding alleged delays but didn't think was important enough to actually pass - can be brought back at the same stage. If it was, the delay in these "important" "critical" changes in the Criminal Code would only be delayed by 6 months or so.However, unanimous consent of the House is required to reinstate them at the same stage. Most of these did not have unanimous consent the first time around so what makes you think they will get unanimous consent to be fast-tracked? Especially when Harper has shown that he only cares about his legislative agenda so long as it is a useful political footbal. He's not all that interested in actually getting things passed.

"Regardless of seat count, there should be no prouqore if important legislature is pending."You're aware that in a new session of the same Parliament, Private Members Bills are automatically reinstated at the stage they were at prior to prorogation, right? And that Government Bills may be reinstated at the same stage by approval of the House? (The Government, by redirecting its agenda through the new Throne Speech, is granted the opportunity to determine which of its Bills should be adjusted.)If important legislation is pending (and there is always important legislation pending), it will continue with the process in the new Session of Parliament.
