Premier Wab Kinew defends decision as Wasyliw alleges bullying and vows to continue as Independent MLA.

MLA Mark Wasyliw was ousted from the Manitoba NDP caucus due to his law firm's association with Peter Nygard's defense.
Premier Wab Kinew stated that Wasyliw had to choose between his legal career and his role in the caucus.
Wasyliw claims his removal was due to ongoing disputes with Kinew and has accused the premier of bullying.
