In 2012, Dalton McGuinty, then Premier of Ontario, prorogued the provincial legislature for two months. Prorogation is the formal ending of a legislative session, and it suspends all business before the legislature. McGuinty's decision was controversial, as it was seen as an attempt to avoid a vote on a motion of non-confidence against his government.
