For a full accounting

Needless to say, good on The Scott Ross for getting the media to pick up on the costs of Stephen Harper's decision to shut down Parliament. But I'll offer up one suggestion for a rewrite of the figures involved: as much as the Cons may want to see Parliament as nothing more than a vehicle to pass government bills, shouldn't private members' bills and committee work (which are also at least delayed by the prorogation) also factor into the costs of Parliament?
