Prorogation refers to the formal ending a session of the Legislative Assembly. Once prorogation occurs, the session that preceded it is considered to be over, and the Assembly may not sit until it is reconvened for a new session following a proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor.
To prorogue the Legislative Assembly, the Lieutenant Governor will issue a proclamation to officially close the legislative session. At that time, all outstanding legislative proceedings, including committee work and business such as bills or motions, are terminated and cannot be debated further unless they are reintroduced in the next session.
