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.
I heard that it was still up to the GG to approve ProRogue.....at the end of the day it seems the GG has a fair amount of power over the outcome of this mess.
