It pretty much does. Really the GG only has two options...
1: Dissolve parliament, call an election
2: Invite the leader of another political party to seek the confidence of the house
So all the opposition parties were in effect saying "consider asking us to form government"... sounds like a Coalition to me. If Harper had penned the letter alone it would be different but the act of having a joint declaration makes it pretty apparent what they were talking about.
