New Brunswick MP Jenica Atwin has shocked the Green Party by announcing she is crossing the House of Commons floor and joining Justin Trudeau's Liberals.
Green Leader Annamie Paul says she is disappointed, but cannot control the decisions of others.
Annamie Paul says she takes Atwin at her word that the decision was not a result of her leadership.
The defection leaves the Green party with just two lawmakers in the House of Commons.
Atwin made history in the October 2019 general election when she became the first Green MP to be elected east of British Columbia.
Atwin says a big factor in her decision was an ongoing internal rift among the Greens over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
