I think you underestimate the percentages. The only exciting event in the parliamentary day - question period - is also mostly boring if you watch it start to finish. Sure the leaders' questions and responses are pithy (and little more) but the second 2/3 of QP is a dull repetition of the same junk.
I'd like it to be even more boring in the hopes of making it more useful. Maybe organize the QP into a calendar like they do in the UK. Monday - Finance and Economic questions, Tuesday - Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Wednesday - Questions of the Prime Minister, Thursday - Justice, Infrastructure and Intergovernmental affairs or some breakdown like that.
