The Member of Parliament for the Kenora Riding is defending the government's decision to suspend the current sitting of the House of Commons.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued parliament until March which will kill a number of bills currently on the order paper.
Greg Rickford says that will not affect all bills, including the private members bill to kill the Federal Long gun Registry.
Rickford suggests the delay in the next sitting of Parliament will mean that he will be able to spend more time in the riding meeting with his constituents.
