Even if it said 'double pinky swear we won't' it wouldn't mean anything else. There's no consequence for changing their mind.

I don't really trust them but it says that they will adhere to the agreement until June 2010 at the end of the document. The statement I referred to is pretty clear though:
The Government will not request a dissolution of Parliament during the term of this agreement, except following defeat on an explicitly-framed motion of non-confidence presented by the Opposition; or any vote pertaining to the speech from the throne; or on a budget vote at on any stage in the House; or on any bill to implement a budget at any stage in the House; or on any motion in the House to concur in, restore or reinstate any Estimates; or on any supply bill at any stage in the House.
The Bloc Quebecois will neither move nor will it support any motions of non-confidence in the Government during the term of its support for this agreement, and will vote in favour of the Government’s position with respect to all matters referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
I don't see how this says "as long as they feel like it" if at the end of the document it says:
The Bloc Quebecois will adhere to this agreement until June 30, 2010 unless renewed.
As I said, I don't really trust them, but they have their own electorate to worry about if they bail out.
