That line wasn't intended to be used as it will be used in the next couple of days. If it was, then we shouldn't have a law like that because any PM can justify doing the same thing in a majority government.

I understand what you are saying, but the line does NOT say "only to be used if the current minority government doesn't survive a confidence vote".
You don't know what the government intended that line to be used for. Harper is not a stupid man, no matter what the Libs would try to tell you. He is always thinking several steps ahead. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he had envisioned something like this happening and wanted to make sure he had "an out".
