It's worth noting that there's nothing in here about how the parties will behave as opposition; merely how they would act if they were made the government. There's nothing that binds them to topple the government at the next available opportunity.
I think Ignatieff's strategy will be to not formally kill the coalition agreement (which would insult NDP and Bloc voters, two groups he would hope to woo), but rather, simply not force a confidence vote.
