The NDP and Liberals have reached a deal to topple the minority Conservative government and take power themselves in a coalition, CBC News has learned.

A deal has been negotiated between NDP Leader Jack Layton and Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion that would see them form a coalition government for two and a half years, the CBC's Keith Boag reported, citing sources.

The NDP would be invited into cabinet and get 25 per cent of seats, Boag said, adding that the party wouldn't get the position of the finance chair or the deputy prime minister's post.

1. So what happens now?

Vote on dec 8'th or will Harper push it back again? Also, how will Michaelle Jean factor in?

2. Supposed to be Dec 8.

But Harper could prorogue Parliament too.

Jean could easily hand it to Dion though, she has that constitutional power.

Certainly much too early for another election, I would think.
