If GG Jean thought this coalition had any legitimacy, she would've allowed them to proceed with the December 8 non-confidence vote.

I don't see a non-confidence vote for the budget or crown speech. The next logical move for Harper is work hard with the Liberals to make sure that the budget is something that they can support.
I mean we all know that they can't afford an election anytime soon, and would probably be the most willing out of all of the parties to work with the government.
It would also effectively marginalize the bloc and NDP if they can get the Liberals to make the smart play and particpate with the government instead of trying to tear it down on an impulse.
