After weeks of being pilloried for shuttering the Commons, Stephen Harper is trying to win back disaffected Canadians by adding extra House sittings in March and April to recoup some lost time.I guess the matter is now settled. Everyone back to your regularly scheduled programming. Why didn't Harper propose this when he decided to prorogue? Even as he's forced to make concessions, he has to turn into a point scorer.
The proposal sets a trap for opposition parties, which must consent to the move or undermine their complaints about Mr. Harper's Dec. 30 decision to prorogue Parliament until March 3.
