Democracy advocates say the WE Charity scandal clearly demonstrates that Canadians deserve a Parliament that sits regularly in order to hold the government to account.

Normal House of Commons sittings have been largely adjourned since mid-March as a result of the pandemic lockdown. The Commons chamber will only be occupied three more times—July 22, Aug. 12, and Aug. 26—before the fall session resumes on Sept. 21.
