OTTAWA — Edmonton Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux has crossed the floor to the governing Liberals, according to a social media post by Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday.

“I am honoured to welcome Matt Jeneroux to our caucus as the newest member of Canada’s new government,” said Carney, in a post on X.

“I am grateful to Matt and his family that he will continue his service as a strong voice for Edmonton Riverbend in Parliament.”

Carney said Jeneroux, who has represented the riding of Edmonton Riverbend since 2015, will take on a new role as special advisor on economic and security partnership for the Liberals.

Jeneroux is the third Conservative to join the Liberals, after colleagues Michael Ma and Chris d’Entremont crossed the floor late last year.

More to come.
