Commons adjourned for the summer

All the Canadian political parties agreed late Tuesday night to pull the plug on this session of the House of Commons after almost a month of late-night sittings.

Political pundits consider this session the most acrimonious sitting of parliament since the Harper Conservatives came to power more than seven years ago.

The House of Commons calendar had MPs remaining at work in Ottawa through the end of this week.

However, proceedings in the House were bitter and unproductive.
