From Global News.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to attend question period on Wednesday, hours after the Liberals announced that Nunavut MP Lori Idlout would leave the NDP caucus to join the Liberals.

Idlout is the first New Democrat to cross the floor and follows three Conservatives into the government caucus. It has put the Liberals in a position to form a majority government should the party win two of the three by-elections set for April 13.

Idlout, a lawyer and an Inuk person, was elected twice as a New Democrat, in 2021 and again in 2025. As recently as last Thursday, she spoke at an Avi Lewis NDP leadership campaign event in Ottawa.

Idlout follows former Conservatives Chris D’Entremont, Michael Ma and Matt Jeneroux from the opposition benches to the government side.
