"Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean has granted a request from Stephen Harper to suspend Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office told CBC News, a move that avoids a confidence vote set for Monday that could have toppled his minority government.
The announcement on Thursday comes after a two-hour meeting with Jean at Rideau Hall in which Harper asked her to prorogue, or suspend, the current parliamentary session until the end of January, when the Tories plan to table a budget."
