Which reports are you referring to?

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/11/28/fed-govt.html

From the article:

"Former NDP leader Ed Broadbent had confirmed earlier in the day that he had been in talks with former Liberal prime minister Jean Chrétien about the possibility of a coalition stemming from disagreement with measures proposed in the government's fiscal update, delivered Thursday."

It sounds like these back room talks have only occurred since Thursday to me unless there is some other evidence?
