It depends, Harper dosen't have the advantages that Martin had during the Liberal minority. The Senate is stuffed with Liberal's who have basically already said that they won't play nice with anything coming through that does not reflect thier Liberal values.
Basically, Harper has to find a way to play nice and show some success so he can win a majority and reform the senate.
The accountibility act will pass, The bloc will probably support the tax cuts, and the Liberals would be stupid not to get on board with the law and order reforms. But in my mind theres no way that the child care act will be passed even though the Liberal's never managed to even put one together, this will be a major platform plank for them. Even though in my mind the Health Wait Times program is badly needed, the Liberal's have to stick to thier old tired crap that this is an attack on nationalized medicine.
I'm thinking three out of five and an election by October
