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 was listening to a constitutional expert yesterday and they concur with Captain Crunch. The GG will have to abide by the wishes of the PM on such a manner. And the constitutional expert said that when Cretien was PM, he alluded to that fact many times.
