I don't really agree with it but he is doing it so he can 1.) get parity within the senate and 2.) In order to get the new senators on the committees he needs to prorogue otherwise the senate committees stay same and most have a majority of Liberal Senators.

All the bills will die except private members bills. The ellimination of the gun registery was a Private members bill so it will be ready for 3rd reading once parliament resumes.
