Sure, but let's not pretend that is some Liberal conspiracy or anything. You can't actually have the GG running around vetoing bills or deciding that she shouldn't dissolve parliament. She's a figurehead, and that's it.
If Singh can come in and present an alternate government coalition, that might be a different story, but otherwise just not wanting an election isn't a reason for the GG to do anything but dissolve parliament.
