Helloooooo constitutional crisis.
I suppose Prime Minister Duceppe would tell Dion to just call byelections. Afterall, the coalition ends the moment the writ is dropped, and both Duceppe and Layton the First know that once this parliament ends, their hopes of power are over.
Not sure if the GG can, at that point, unilaterally declare that government has failed and force a general election.
However, as stated, such a move plays far too much on the east-west distrust.
