Party discipline is generally so rigid in New Brunswick that disagreeing with a motion to adjourn the house may be viewed by some as a revolt or a rebellion causing an election. This is very silly and not an accurate reflection of the constitutional order. #nbpoli

@JoshDehaas @JamesManson6263 In reality at the federal level, the maximum length of prorogation is greatly reduced to a matter of months as a consequence of needing to pass Supply. Special warrants (rightfully) cannot be used during prorogation. GG must ensure that the government can fund itself.
