Which is exactly the point.
As Rubecube pointed out, it wasn't an issue of the coalition being formed it was an issue with the GG, who is merely a figure head these days, denying the elected leader of Canada, minority or otherwise.

The actual issue here is that Harper ended an entire parliamentary session to save his own hide.
