Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Resigns, Shifting Parliamentary Balance
Conservative Member of Parliament Matt Jeneroux has stepped down from his position representing Edmonton Riverbend. His decision, announced on Thursday, narrows the gap between the Liberals and a majority in Parliament.
Speculation circulated earlier in the week that Jeneroux might follow in the footsteps of former Conservative colleague Chris d’Entremont and join the Liberal Party. Jeneroux, however, confirmed he will not be joining the Liberals, putting those rumours to rest.
Rumours began to swirl on Wednesday that Jeneroux might join former colleague Chris d’Entremont in leaving the Conservative party for the Liberals.
His resignation marks another significant shift in Canada’s political landscape as both major parties seek to solidify their parliamentary positions ahead of upcoming legislative sessions.
