| Description | Quebec Liberal MP Jean Lapierre said Thursday he will resign from the federal caucus by the end of the month, reducing the party's seats in Parliament to 100.
The MP for the Montreal riding of Outremont had previously said he would not run again in the next election in order to join the TVA television network, where he will co-host a weekly show on politics with reporter Paul Larocque.
His departure, announced days after Toronto-area MP Wajid Khan defected from the Liberals to the Conservative party, will give the Tories a two-seat cushion if they can strike a deal with the NDP to pass legislation.
"It's over," Lapierre told the Canadian Press. "I had promised Paul Martin to come back and work with him, but now I'm done." |
