The BQ said that they would support the coalition, but for obvious political reasons, they weren't a part of the signed agreement. Either way you look at it, the whole thing stunk. Either the Bloc weren't a part of the coalition and the NDP/Liberals attempted to undemocratically unseat the Conservative party (this would be undemocratic because the Liberals and NDP combined still had fewer seats than the Conservatives) or they got into bed with a separatist party, which is something that Dion had said should never be done.
