(I know, these three parties are wasteful and just wanted to spend the money on an election before they did this!)

You know they can't right? The best they could have done is draft said agreement and take it to the GG and ask him that before he disolves parliment at the request of the PM that they give them a chance to govern.
There is virtually zero chance the GG would have allowed it, and instead would have done exactly what he did do, which is send us back to the polls. The only difference is that instead of going there thinking the Libs have a "hidden agenda" of forming a coalition with the BQ seperatists, we'd be going knowing full well with documentation that that is exactly what Iffy wants to do.
Based on how the public reacted after the last failed coup attempt by the coalition of losers, this would have ensured a PC majority. There only hope really is a major misstep by the PM on the campaign trail.
