^ A true 'coalition' government includes a shared Executive (Cabinet);i.e. both partners form a union to govern, of whatever terms and duration. The agreement to form a coalition government between the Liberals and NDP - supported by the Bloc - to defeat the Conservatives in 2008, was stillborn. We haven't had a sitting coalition government federally since the First World War.
All votes on 'money bills' are, by default, matters of confidence, but a government can declare any pending vote a matter of confidence.
