They don't need to in order to agree not to pursue certain policies while part of the coalition.
Just like the Bloc can temporarily agree not to pursue its soverignty or the Conservatives can temporarily agree not to pursue parts of their platform if they feel the timing is wrong... you don't need a convention for that and parties do it all the time. In fact, one of the things I like about Harper is that he typically doesn't have a problem putting certain things on the back burner if they are unpopular.
