Since the Conservatives have a majority government, in theory he could continue governing as if nothing happened unless his own party turns against him (unless he's guilty of a criminal act, which it doesn't appear that he is).
Depending on the severity of the scandal and the extent of Harper's involvement, there may be calls for him to voluntarily step down "for the good of the party" and allow the CPC plenty of time to elect a new leader prior to the 2015 election.
