Please answer this question: what options were available for the Governor General to consider should Paul Martin's Liberals lose the confidence of the House?
I'm only aware of two:
1) Dissolve parliament and call an election
2) Ask another party (or coalition of parties) to try to win the confidence of the House and form a new government
Is there another option? If not, then the Harper/Layton/Duceppe letter clearly implied that they were urging the GG to allow them to form a coalition government of some sort without an election.
