They can do whatever the hell it pleases. If they lose a confidence vote, so be it. You seem to think what they're doing is against the rules, it's not. I said no such thing. I said it was crass political opportunism. Yes, it is the sort of thing a party can lose a confidence vote over.

I'm not sure why you think there's this formal set of rules (if you do anything in the first X months of office, it needs to have been in your election platform?), because they do not exist.

I didn't say that. See above.

The government in power -- the Harper governmnet -- can do whatever it wants to within the laws of this country. You didn't know that? Your entire post was a huge red herring based upon something I didn't say. Want to try again?
