On a Vancouverradio program, Mr. Emerson dismissed his critics as "partisan zealots" and stated that he would not resign. He acknowledged that he had giventhought to the idea, and said he was a "little over the top" during the campaign when he called the Harper Tories heartless and intolerant. TheMinister said he would consider voting for, and would abide by, a law that forced defectors to resign and run in byelections, but said it isunfair to single him out when no such requirement was imposed on past defectors. He told reporters that if federal ethics commissionerBernard Shapiro finds him guilty of any wrongdoing, he will leave. (P.
