Quebec MP crosses the floor

The federal Liberals added a new member to their caucus Tuesday after an NDP MP crossed the floor.

Lise St-Denis quit the official opposition New Democrats and joined the third-place Liberals.

St-Denis says she’s making the move because she likes the Liberals’ social policy and their positions on job creation, foreign affairs and the environment.

St-Denis won in former Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s riding last May.

The switch gives the Liberals 35 seats in the House of Commons.
