According to the constitutional lawyer on the radio yesterday, the GG could have said no in which case, she also would have had to ask for Harper to resign.
Anyway, it looks like parliament will be suspended. Probably the best thing for Harper, but I am not sure that having no parliament at all during the time is better than a coalition government. Is it in the best interests of the country?
Hopefully cooler heads prevail at the end of January.
