According to Senior Vice-President Doug Anderson “Looking back on when  Parliament was prorogued a year ago, Canadians have divided opinions over  whether it was a good or bad idea. But asked how they would feel if Parliament was prorogued now until after the Olympics, we find widespread apathy about it this time. There is clearly not the same level of passion about the issue this time. There is likely less of a sense that the move is exceptional or likely to have a major impact one way or another.”
