And I'm doubting it will result in an election, sounds like there is almost an agreement by the other parties to form a new government.

Former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien and former New Democrat leader Ed Broadbent are working behind the scenes to broker a deal that could see the two parties form a coalition government, CTV News has learned.

"Under this deal the Liberals would form the government, the NDP would sit in it with cabinet seats and the Bloc Quebecois would support this new NDP-Liberal coalition from outside the government," said CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife.
Liberal MP Michael Ignatieff is the most likely choice to lead the coalition, Fife told CTV's Canada AM.
One stumbling block to the deal, he said, is that the Bloc will not support the plan so long as Stephane Dion is at the helm of the Liberal party.
