Several MPs have reacted to the news that another MP, this time from the NDP, has crossed the floor to join the Liberals, who are now closer to reaching a majority.
Nunavut MP Lori Idlout said she decided to join the Liberals because of “new threats against our sovereignty” impacting the North, adding it would be more effective to be part of the government to represent her region.
