I think that this is a personality conflict as much as anything. If I were Dion and had Harper squirming right now, why would you let him off the hook today (even if you were going to next week)?
Basically this is like Jr. High where the kids are tired of being picked on and treated badly. The last budgetary announcements were enough to push them to this action. I don't think that they ever go through with it, but are definitely enjoying watching Harper squirm in the meantime.
