What is this great political impasse that's made parliament so disfunctional you're all talking about? Hasn't the government been in recess over the last few summer months? And prior to that, wasn't Dion telling the Liberal caucus to abstain from just about every confidence motion because he didn't want to bring down the government and force an election?
If there was any disfunction in parliament prior to the summer recess, it was the fact that Canada didn't have an effective opposition, thereby allowing the minority CPC to govern as if they had a majority. Surely Conservative supporters must have been thrilled by that situation, no?
