In the present situation in Ottawa, what is the Governor General to do?

1. The Conservative Government has apparently lost the confidence of the House of Commons. We have been told that this will be confirmed next week.  If it is, then the Conservative government is out.

2. There is a large group of elected members who have assured the Governor General that they are prepared to form a government.

3. If Harper wants to continue as Prime Minister, he will have to organize his own coalition.
