Even if she could, Jean would be a fool to. If Harper goes to her and asks for a porogue, stating it is his desire to suspend parliament for a while to see if the opposition is willing to work with the government, why on earth wouldn't she?
Especially given her own history, and the Liberal and separatist ties that dog her. Agreeing to this gives her a very easy way to show a neutral stance.
Once the porogue expires, then it becomes interesting again.
