They will fix it at committee, but let it go ahead in this House. They are saying to let these pensions vest for MPs who are not going to get elected and should not have these pensions vested.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8507439\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member is asking me whether, if this gets fixed at committee, I would support it. If this change did not come along, Conservatives would be very happy. Leave the fixed election date as it is. However, I am not prepared to, any longer, accept \u201ctrust us\u201d as being the mantra coming from the Liberal-NDP coalition.</p>",
