Nothing extraordinary about in in the sense that it's what you did as a
consequence of calling an election; this session of parliament is done,
everyone go back to their ridings, there will be a new parliament after
the election.

I suspect part of the motivation is that if Parliament is in session,
MPs can show up and vote on stuff.  Minority governments have to watch
out for that.
