I think he's reasonably likely to get back in, mainly because the Liberals have not been able to come up with a party leader who makes much of an impression on the Canadian public. Dionne seems like a nice man, but he's not the type who wins elections. He just gives a weak visual impression.

So, if that happens and Harper wins again, there will probably be a Liberal leadership convention within a few months after the election, and they'll replace Dionne with someone else.

I hope it's another minority government.
