Overview
- Chris d'Entremont alleges Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer and whip Chris Warkentin barged into his office, pushed the door open and yelled at him, which he says finalized his decision to cross the floor.
- The Conservative Party denies the allegation and accuses d'Entremont of lying and deceiving voters, suggesting he was upset over not receiving the deputy speaker role.
- D'Entremont cites a negative tone under Pierre Poilievre, describing the party as feeling like a frat house, and says his campaign avoided featuring the leader.
- He says the Liberals did not offer a cabinet post in exchange for his move and confirms he met Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday.
- Two days after his defection, Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux announced his resignation, with CBC sources reporting Jenni Byrne is working to deter more crossings and d'Entremont saying he believed several Conservatives were considering leaving.
