As noted on www. Last Reviewed: January What exactly is a coalition government and how is it different from a majority government? This is what occurs in a minority government. This is what occured in , and the leader that was chosen was Stephen Harper. This is known as coalition. In other words, a coalition government is a government with cabinet ministers from more than one party. Adapted in part from: www. An example from the 40th Canadian parliament December With these numbers, assume for the moment that the Conservatives had attempted to pass a bill.
Also assume that the Liberals, NDP and all independents voted against this bill total: The passing of the bill would depend on the votes of the Bloc: if all Bloc MPs voted for the bill, it would pass; if all Bloc MPs vote against the bill, it would not pass.

It is trying to transform and supposedly tame the universities, although just why is not clear. It killed the people-trafficking business with its policy of boat turnbacks. This is the cruellest blow to whatever legacy the government has been trying to establish. It got so close. Growth will return but a surplus will be quite a few elections, and perhaps a few more prime ministers, away.
