Ex-Conservative MP Michael Ma crosses floor to join Carney Liberals

Conservative MP Michael Ma has announced he is leaving that caucus to join the federal Liberals.

In a statement released Thursday by the Liberal Party, Ma said, “After listening carefully to the people of Markham–Unionville in recent weeks and reflecting with my family on the direction of our country, I have informed the Speaker and the Leader of the Opposition that I will be joining Prime Minister Mark Carney in the government caucus.”

His floor-crossing comes only weeks after former Conservative MP Chris d’Entremont also crossed the floor to sit with the Liberals, and after Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux announced he will be resigning from the party caucus.
