NDP MP Lori Idlout says she will not be crossing the floor to join the Liberal Party after being asked to do so by party members and some of her constituents. “I am proud of what my fellow NDP Members and I have been able to accomplish during my 2 terms as MP... As such, I will not be crossing the floor and will be staying with the NDP caucus,” Idlout said in a Jan. 8 statement to The Epoch Times.

Idlout did not say who specifically had asked her to cross the floor, but previously told CBC News that both Liberal Party members and constituents in her riding had asked her.
