Senate To The Rescue On Torture, via CPAC?

Experts on a CPAC program raise the precedent of Senate committees continuing investigations during prorogation, though perhaps without all their privileges, as the Senate is free(er?) of prorogation's effects than House, as unelected. I believe Gary Levy, editor of the Canadian Parliamentary Review, is one of those who mention it. It was during IPPL's conference being shown on CPAC, "Parliament and Government; Partners and Adversaries"(!!!). Prorogation comes up in Module 8. CPAC's listing of Sessions doesn't match the program perfectly, and right now the Prorogation session is unavailable on demand, it seems. I think when it is available CPAC will list Module 8 as Session 5 or 6 of Nov 13, as it follows Module 6 (Financial Initiative) which CPAC lists as Session 4. I've caught bits before and the whole thing seems incredibly relevant, prescient even, though irritatingly the conference proceedings won't be published till May, if I've understood their Publication Cycle correctly. The previous issue seems very relevant as well. The IPPL seems rather endearingly behind the times. If you wonder why so much of their web site is unfinished, keep in mind that according to their last notice, of August 28, "By Labour Day, the Institute will be on the web. Watch for the new site at: www.parlpol.ca" & then, charmingly, "If the role of law in democracy is important to you, join us!". Of course, it might help if the parlpol.ca was indeed online and the existing website was not mostly dead space, esp. where publications should be. Wetness seems to be a recurring problem with those who would wish to educate the masses and defend parliamentary democracy. The way I read their site, the mere mention of modernity, as in "Conference information will be distributed by e-mail and will be announced at this site" must sound like some risqué and avant-garde project to IPPL ears. C'mon guys, this internet thing might prove ever-so-slightly useful in getting the word out: "If the role of law in democracy is important to you, join us!" Yeah, but what? Where are the docs? C'mon dudes, get it together. In the meantime, since there's nothing to read, you'll have to watch the proceedings on CPAC. They deal with coalitions, dissolution, prorogation, everything of moment.
