Conservative Party Leader Erin O'Toole has removed Sen. Denise Batters from the national caucus, after she launched a petition criticizing O'Toole and asking for a party leadership review.

“As the Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, I will not tolerate an individual discrediting and showing a clear lack of respect towards the efforts of the entire Conservative caucus, who are holding the corrupt and disastrous Trudeau government to account,” O'Toole said in a statement on Nov. 16.
