After watching the news last night and doing a little research, its likely that Harper will approach the governer General and ProRogue the parliment or shut it down. The GG does not have decision making ability on this, if its recommended by the Prime Minister, then Parliment is shut down, until the end of Jan. There will be no votes and no motions.

Then its likely on the first day back that the Conservatives will make a new crown speech that includes the Federal Budget. This obviously puts the opposition in a bind at that point. This is going to allow public sentiment to build against the coaltion, and if the Harper Government is smart they'll be all kinds of (I don't agree with it) stimuli in the budget kicking the legs out of this coalition.
