Well when reading one half of the story I guess you're right.

Pre-budget leaks suggested the Conservatives had conceded to NDP demands to improve Guaranteed Income Supplements for seniors and boost the number of doctors and nurses in Canada. Layton himself was even said to have adopted a conciliatory tone following those leaks.
But even he has said that his final decision would come after he'd read the final document and upon emerging from the budget lock-up Tuesday, Layton was none too impressed.
"Nothing in this budget has persuaded me that Mr. Harper has changed his ways and is prepared to work with others in Parliament to give middle-class families a break," Layton said.
So I guess lip service is compromise? In this political theatre among all actors... I guess so.
