If They Were Proroguing Parliament...

...the left would howl and scream. This time, however, the senate is promising to sit longer, into July, but I'll bet you the left will still howl and scream.

Conservative senators ready to sit into July to clear backlog

Here's why.
"Conservatives in the Senate say they are willing to sit into July — past June 28 when the upper chamber is scheduled to start its break — to pass five government bills, and possibly two contentious bills from backbench Tory MPs.

It isn’t unusual for the Senate to sit longer than the House of Commons to clear the legislative backlog left when MPs take their breaks. This year, however, the Senate may sit into July to pass two private member’s bills: One about union finances (bill C-377) and the other about hate speech (bill C-304)."
Get 'er done folks. We've been waiting a long time for both, but especially for the hate speech amendment.
