Prime Minister Mark Carney has confirmed that Ontario MP Marilyn Gladu, who was first elected as a Conservative in 2015, has crossed the floor to join his caucus.

Carney says Gladu brings “practical, results-driven leadership” that Canada needs in a time of global uncertainty.
In a statement, Gladu says that the last year has been “like no other” for Canada, and she has heard from constituents that they want “serious leadership” and a “strong plan” to build Canada’s economy – which is why she has decided to join the Liberals.
The move puts the Carney Liberals at 171 seats in the House of Commons, just one seat shy of a majority government.
