Yes, it matters. They still have a full month on the schedule and that includes the potential for extended sessions which was agreed upon. I'm not sure what work/bills they are undertaking at this time though and how important they are but anything ongoing would be killed. Outside of the regularly scheduled business the bigger issue with proroguing is the optics in that it basically shows us that the government is not accountable and it continues to erode public trust. Obviously that action would mostly poorly reflect in the Liberals and Trudeau but it still has ripples across our entire parliament and future governing parties. They shouldn't be able to go into hiding just because their backs are up against the wall.
