A Tory MP is questioning an Elections Act revision proposed this week by the Liberal government that would allow dozens of MPs to qualify for pensions, even if they lose the next election.

It’s a move that Conservative MP Damien Kurek questioned as a potential conflict of interest during a March 22 Ethics Committee meeting.
