I would speculate that herein lies their strategy. My thoughts are that the Liberals are gambling that the NDP will keep the Conservatives afloat. The NDP will likely gain some concessions from the Conservatives and claim that they are listening to the people by avoiding an election. The NDP cannot really afford an election right now even moreso than the other parties as I would argue that they have the most to lose.
The Liberals can use this to their advantage when eventually a non-confidence motion would pass likely in the Spring. I think that the Liberals wanted to show for political reasons that they will not support the Conservatives any more as they have shown to be weakened under the leadership of Dion and partially under Ignatieff.
