Abstract (Summary)
When the law was proposed, Mr. [Stephen Harper] explained the purpose was to take away a prime minister's power to surprise. "Fixed election dates prevent governments from calling snap elections for short-term political advantage," he said in May, 2006. "They level the playing field for all parties and the rules are clear for everybody."
