I'll let Leader of the Opposition Stephen Harper answer that question.
Harper: We'll support the government on issues if it's essential to the country but our primary responsibility is
not to prop up the government, our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians. What the government has to do, if it wants to govern for any length of time,
is it must appeal primarily to the third parties in the House of Commons to get them to support it.
