Floor-Crossing and voter accountability: The Matt Jeneroux case

Loading player...
On Wednesday, Alberta MP Matt Jeneroux crossed the floor from the Conservatives to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal caucus, despite representing a riding in Edmonton that has never elected a Liberal MP. Should politicians who cross the floor be required to face a by-election and be accountable to their constituents? This actually happened in Saskatchewan in 1998, when Buckley Belanger crossed from the Liberals to the NDP, and the NDP required him to resign and win a by-election. To discuss how that unfolded and whether such a policy should be legislated, guest host Tamara Cherry is joined by Dwain Lingenfelter, former leader of the Saskatchewan NDP.
