Better Be One Hell of A Speech

Gathering input for both the throne speech and a new budget to be introduced once Parliament reconvenes March 3, is keeping [Sarnia-Lambton Conservative MP Pat] Davidson occupied during these 12 weeks away from Ottawa, she said.

"It's very true that it's a long period of time, but it's time required for the throne speech to be done properly."

The last throne speech was a grand total of 758 words, so we're looking at nearly three hours per word. Damn thing better rhyme or something.

Shouldn't take long to recycle his stuff from each of the last prorogations.
