I did not know there was a federal private member’s bill (Bill C-306) in 2011 that would have required MPs who crossed the floor to vacate their seat and run in a by-election under their new party affiliation.
The Conservatives who were in power then voted overwhelmingly against it, arguing it undermined MPs’ independence and conflicted with Canada’s parliamentary system. Amazing when you consider their rhetoric today. The bill was defeated at second reading.
Which raises an obvious question: why did @PierrePoilievre, who now suggests floor-crossing renders Carney’s majority “illegitimate,” vote against this bill at the time?
