Petition Tag - prorogue
Whereas the citizens of Canada have duly elected the Members of the 40th Parliament, and
Whereas the first session of the 40th Parliament was prorogued during a period of profound economic instability, while the Government resisted a coalition helmed by a Member whose continuing leadership of his Party was in question, and
Whereas no such economic or political crisis currently plagues Canada, and

Whereas proroguing Parliament is a direct threat to the function of Parliament and the will of the Canadian electorate:
2. Governor General must speak 
Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, agreed to the request of The Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, to suspend Parliament even though the Prime Minister did not have the confidence of Parliament.
