This is the problem that I think the GG sees. If the Bloc is not part of the coalition, then it's a coalition no better than the current govenment. The Bloc agreed not to vote against the coalition on matters of confidence but what about other issues? Parliament would always be stalled.

If the Bloc officialy signed on, has cabinet members, helps make policy, then the coalition is viable (regardless of whether we agree with it or not).
But just supporting? It's too vague for the GG to accept.

I think the GG views the coalition as a joke. Even if the coalition defeats the government on Jan 27, the GG will simply call an election. If she wanted Dion to govern, she would have let him govern on Monday.
