What are you talking about? This thread makes none sense without giving us detail.
Thread was meant to discuss the issue with other Canadians whom should already be in the know, but if others elsewhere are interested, I'll give a brief synopsis.
Basically, our PM has been facing an intense amount of heat in the Commons lately, mostly related to the government's handling of the Afganistan war, though there are other items.
Also, unlike down there in Aus, our Senators are appointed by the PM rather than elected, and up until recently the opposition (the Liberal Party) has held a majority. The current PM has always beat his chest about how the Senate should be elected, but is nonetheless stacking the Senate with his own partisans, notables include members of the press who have been favourable to him.
To make a long story short, in order to hide from scrutiny and the expedite his majority interest in the Senate, he has prorogued (i.e. shut down) Parliament for two months, basically killing off the committees charged with the task of looking into that for which he is under scrutiny.
Of course, he needs permission from the Governor-General to do so. As you should know, since the GG is an appointed position, she has little option other than to oblige.
Also note that this is a minority government right now, which is why he is being so disturbingly manipulative.
