I am not sure but I would think that the government will have to have another Throne speech as they will be starting a new session.
The GG doesn't need consider much about the confidence of the house. Either the house has confidence or it doesn't. The only thing she needs to decide is whether to call an election or let another party (or parties) form the government.
And Percy... you are right. Harper doesn't need to have the opposition at the table. He just needs to offer a budget that will appease the public enough to take the wind out of their sails. Everything hinges on what he has to offer.
I stand by my point, however, that unless the Bloc disappears or the Conservatives can stop being so right wing, there won't be majority governments.
Harper, in his anti Quebec rhetoric pretty much shot himself in the foot as far as Quebec is concerned. Without Quebec there is no majority for anyone.
