Dead man scripted

A not quite absurd scenario, resurrection aside, concerning proceedings during Question Period in the Canadian House of Commons:

Hon. Stéphane Dion (Leader of the Opposition, Lib.):

I ask the prime minister whether he intends to abolish free elections in Canada. Yes or no?

Right Hon. Stephen Harper (Prime Minister, CPC):

... [Pulls out a pistol and shoots M. Dion dead.]

Hon. Stéphane Dion (Leader of the Opposition, Lib.)[risen]:

Je demande au premier ministre s'il a l'intention de supprimer les élections libres au Canada. Oui ou non ?...

All parties perform like that, though the BQ members appear to show more passion. Jack Layton gets the bluster (Mussolini) award. As to how genuine...
