I'm assuming you haven't read the coalition accord? It doesn't mention Dion by name as leader, except at signatory. What it does say is that, should the coalition come to power, the Prime Minister will be the leader of the Liberal Party. It doesn't address who this leader is, or how he is picked. It doesn't include a time-table for the Liberals naming a replacement for Dion. The Liberals changing their leader doesn't even come close to being any sort of violation of the accord.
