It's not the Green party that will never give Harper a majority government, it is Harper himself. Why propose a bill like that 6 weeks after you form a MINORITY government. Bring this up when you have a majority later. People will think if he can propose outlandish proposals with a minority government, what would he do if he had total control.
My guess: because the plans for a coalition were already in place (were before the last election likely), Harper found out, and decided this would come up on possible the most ridiculous grounds to topple a government ever. Can't be sure that's what happened, but it was clear that there was never a possibility of anyone working with the conservatives and they would overturn the election the first chance they get, so why make it a real issue.
