What we do know is that parliament is recessed for the summer, with everything important to the electorate pretty much at a standstill. Prime Minister Carney occasionally dictates something from afar that could be classified as policy which apparently no longer requires caucus discussion or support; Bill C-5 being one example full of promised ‘giveaways’ that risks killing our economy.
