The Liberal Party has unequivocally stated that they would not enter into a coalition government.

I think the GG would have to dissolve parliament if the Liberals tried to pull an about face and take power through the back door of a coalition (such as we saw in 2008). I don't believe there is a precedent to this, but outright lying to Canadians would create a very strong case to head back to the polls in that situation. Which would allow Canadians to vote on the acceptability of such a coalition instead of being deceived.
