“Prorogue”

Jurisdiction: Canada Canada

Prorogation ends a session of Parliament but does not dissolve Parliament. The Governor General prorogues Parliament at the request of the Prime Minister. Any bills that have not received Royal Assent by the time Parliament is prorogued will have to be reintroduced in the next session. All committee work ceases with prorogation as well.
