Yesterday, the parliamentary/prime ministerial calendar was starting to come into focus. It's still a bit blurry but, with the news today that the Prime Minister's Peru trip to attend the annual APEC summit will have him out of the country from Nov. 21 (a Friday) to Nov. 24 (a Monday), it's possible we could see a Throne Speech slightly earlier than I'd originally pencilled in.
I'd now say the smart money should be placed on a bet that sees the Throne Speech (and, hence, the opening of the 40th Parliament, happening sometime between Monday, Nov. 17 and Thursday, Nov. 20. One of my government-type contacts was saying earlier this week that a Throne Speech was going to be tough to do before the 20th.
So it still could be the week Harper returns from Peru, but it would not be Monday, Nov. 24 as Harper (and I, for that matter) will be on a long flight from South America.
