Real Change: A New Plan For a Strong Middle Class (page 29)
"Dominic LeBlanc will appear before the Commons procedure and House affairs committee this morning to promote the Liberal vision of how Parliament could work better. [...] The Liberal campaign platform proposed a distinct prime minister's question period, perhaps similar to what the British parliament does once a week." (CBC News, January 28, 2016)
“For question period reform, we could possibly have some form of a prime minister's question period. You know that was a commitment we made. Just to be clear, that was never made to substitute for the Prime Minister's ordinary weekly appearance in question period.” (Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, January 28, 2016)
"The Liberal government is asking MPs to consider a number of changes to the way Parliament functions, including the introduction of a question period dedicated to the prime minister, the elimination of Friday sittings, limiting the ability of MPs to filibuster committee meetings and allowing MPs to vote electronically."
