Correction? There's this.

'Until the mid-1990s, proroguing or suspending Parliament wiped the legislative slate. All bills, no matter how many months they'd been debated or how close they'd been to passing, died on the order paper. If the government wanted to bring back a bill in the new session of Parliament, it had to start all over again from square one. But that's no longer the case. Private members' bills, such as Manitoba Tory MP Candice Hoeppner's gun registry bill, are all automatically reinstated at the same point in the legislative process where they left off.'

Bill C-300 is a private member's bill (introduced by Liberal MP John McKay on February 9, 2009). Sorry for the confusion, I'm kind of thinking out loud with this parliamentary pickle. It's unconfirmed, either way.

I don't know how things work out the Bills, just yet, or the special House of Commons committee, Afghan prisoners and Red Cross/Crescent.
