That would be a coalition government, which we have not seen in Canada since confederation. While popular in other countries, Canadian political parties are loath to hand cabinet spots to other parties (I can't remember if Dion offered cabinet seats to the NDP in 2008).
Nor would i argue that Singh's "unconditional" support of the liberals over this time is anything new to what we have seen third parties do in previous minority governments.
Whether or not it is true, Singh could at least argue that he was the steering hand in propping up the most left wing government Canada has ever had
