Conservative MP Barry Devolin finds the teachable moment.

Devolin added that Canadians should use this current controversy over prorogue as a way of learning more about their Canadian parliamentary system. ”It’s kind of interesting that it’s like a civics lesson for the whole country, because we’re learning about how Parliament works which I think is a good thing in the long run,” he said.
