I just spoke to someone who works in industry Canada, and I'm answering some one's post from awhile back.

The prorogue doesn't mean they don't work. It's just the "house isn't sitting" or something along those lines. Everyone will still be @ work. It's just like the summer when they don't sit and it's just like xmas. Actually, they would have gone on break in a week from this week anyway, and come back one day earlier. People are acting like they're shutting down Canada when the house wouldn't have been sitting anyway. The budget is still being worked on, things are still moving ahead. If anything is causing delays it's this Coalition nonsense.

My friend will still be sitting @ work, doing policy, etc. everyday, full working day other than the days they take off for xmas holidays.
