Canadians (including their base of grey-hairs) are firmly in favor of this. It is always a cold, hard calculation of votes for the Conservatives, and I suspect any legislation that seeks to circumvent this decision would result in a net loss of votes for them.
I think the most likely scenario is they'll punt until after the election though.
