The Canadian Parliament will sit for a total of 114 days in the upcoming year (this includes the 22 days missed in the current proroguement).
In 2009 Parliament sat for 130 days.
The average number of sitting days for Canadian Pariliament for the 2000's has been 111.1
Manitoba's NDP government has prorogued the provincial legislature 1o times while in government - sitting for an average of 68 days per year.
If anyone should be mad about proroguement, it should be Manitobans.
