Nunavut MP says 'it wasn't just one thing' that made her cross the floor to the Liberals

OTTAWA — Nunavut MP Lori Idlout said “it wasn’t just one thing” that caused her to cross the floor from the NDP to the governing Liberals but “a variety of many things” that made the move appealing.

Idlout spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning before attending her first Liberal caucus meeting, just hours after news broke on Monday night that she would be crossing the floor.

“I’m very honoured to be welcoming Lori Idlout to our caucus,” said Prime Minister Mark Carney, before the Liberal caucus meeting.
