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. “I’m very honoured to be welcoming Lori Idlout to our caucus,” said Prime Minister Mark Carney, before the Liberal caucus meeting. Some NDP MPs briefly responded to reporters’ questions as they arrived at a party caucus meeting on Tuesday morning. Canadians are about to learn that real quick,” said NDP MP Gord Johns. And the NDP will fight on,” said NDP MP Jenny Kwan.
