Conservative MP Michael Ma has crossed the floor to the Liberals.
Ma, who represents Markham-Unionville in Ontario., issued a statement Thursday evening saying he has decided to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government after carefully listening to constituents in recent weeks.
“This is a time for unity and decisive action for Canada’s future,” says Ma.
He says he came to Canada at 12-years-old learning hard work and resilience and creating a path of opportunity.
“In that spirit, I have concluded that Mark Carney is offering the steady, practical approach we need to deliver on the priorities I hear every day while door knocking in Markham-Unionville,” says Ma.
“That includes making life more affordable, growing a strong Canadian economy, strengthening community safety, and creating real opportunities for young people and families who are working hard to build their Canadian dream.”
The move follows MP Chris d’Entremont, who crossed the floor in November.
Carney’s government is now one seat away from a majority.
