Debates are highly volatile events that can swing either in your favour or out of it very quickly.

That would be risky on the part of the Conservatives. It could work out the way you described, or it could emphasis the perception that they are hiding something and that they only care about a select portion of Canadians.
That said, I think that all bets are off is there is a profound shift in the polling. If that were to happen I would expect that the willingness to attend the debates would change signifianctly.
