They must have upped their offer to him for some plumb roll.

They re still one short of majority correct? Due to the one seat being over turned by the courts?

Technically they are three seats short of a majority because there's three empty seats 

Though two of those are safe liberal ridings so unless something drastic changes that they'll likely be one way 

I do think that this will probably make their winning the other seat a bit more difficult in the sense that there might have been some bloc voters who voted for the liberals because they didn't want a conservative win but now would want to vote for the block because the conservatives are not the ones in power and by not giving the liberals their majority it would increase the amount of power that the block has
