Stephen Harper had no intentions of forming a coalition in this case. In fact, his goal was to remain leader of the opposition, and come to a solution that would result in the Liberals remaining the governing party, and the conservatives remaining the opposition. He outlines this position in an interview with CBC that was posted in this thread earlier. There was no coalition in place to overthrow the Paul Martin government.
