MP Matt Jeneroux, who crossed the floor from the Conservative Party to join the Liberals last week, will join Prime Minister Mark Carney on his trip to the Indo-Pacific this week.

Jeneroux, the MP for Edmonton Riverbend, announced on Feb. 18 that he was joining the Liberal caucus, after saying last November that he intended to resign his seat this spring to spend more time with his family. He had denied rumours at the time that he was considering joining the Liberals.
