Your Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean

I would like to advise you on the constitutional crisis created by a coalition of political parties in opposition of the elected minority Conservative government.

Therefore, In light of the rampant speculation in the media of these developments, I took some time to read up on the procedure for dissolution of Parliament at your web site.

It seems it's the responsibility of the Prime Minister to come to you and submit an instrument of advice on the matter.

Furthermore, I submit to you that until that happens the 'opposition coalition' has no constitutional standing in the government because it does not include all the opposition parties.

This is exclusionary and counter to your mandate to do no harm to the interests of all Canadians and their respective provinces.

Canadians like me, and seniors on a fixed income, have been tightening our belts as best we can and expect no less from the government.

For example, my gas bill has doubled so I was forced to turn down the thermostat a bit to off-set the added cost of heating my home in the winter.

Money saved by the federal government could help fund a stimulus package for our faltering economy. Now is not the time for panicky financial decisions and rampant spending nor wholesale replacement of government because the opposition parties don't want to give up their political welfare in the form of a vote subsidy.

This is the issue that caused them to panic, not the state of the economy.

To say this coalition exists because of the lack of a economic stimulus package forthcoming from the elected government is disingenuous at best and venal political self-interest at its worst.

You, on behalf of all Canadians, should have nothing to do with this partisan political hackery.

I would humbly suggest that you should reject this attempt to usurp the elected government of Canada by the New Democratic Party of Canada in concert with the Liberal Party of Canada to the exclusion of the political party that represents Quebec and simply tell our elected Politicians get back to work.

Respectfully,
Mark-Alan Whittle
