From the article (in response to the released transcripts of Jack):
NDP deputy leader Thomas Mulcair said at a news conference that nothing in the NDP-BQ talks is any different than the contingency planning Stephen Harper himself engaged in with the two parties during the last Liberal minority in 2004.
This pretty much reinforces what you are saying. While it may shock a lot of people, this happens on a regular basis in a parliamentary system. No need to panic.
