Marwah Rizqy is breaking her silence about what prompted her to fire her chief of staff, leading to her expulsion from the Quebec Liberal party caucus last year.

In a statement of defence in a civil lawsuit brought by Geneviève Hinse, Rizqy claims Hinse tried to circumvent the rules of the national assembly by using parliamentary wing funds for partisan purposes.
