As for the NDP, what makes you so sure they want to prop up the Tories? They would have a big voice within a left wing coalition. This is just me thinking out loud right now...this stuff is totally foreign to me (and to most others I would imagine).
They do very well without the per vote subsidy. As well, supporting this motion would stick a big knife in the Liberals' back. Talk to anyone in the upper echelons of the NDP (I've had a few opportunities) and they will tell you that their goal is to supplant the Liberals as the official left party in the country. Really unlikely, but that is what they are gunning for.
