The Governor General has the authority to prevent this, or any other activity that falls outside the regular "running of the country" type of stuff. This is typically what happens when the session is prorogued before an election.

As Calculoso points out, it isn't going to swing the balance of power in the Senate, so it seems like a questionable strategy.
