The official excuse is that they couldn't agree on a date for the session.
The real reason is anyone's guess at this point. Saskatchewan Premier Lorne Calvert says that relations with the prime minister have been reduced to "megaphone diplomacy".

No matter what one calls it, there's no way it qualifies as diplomacy.
