Conservative MP Michael Ma, who represents Markham–Unionville, is crossing the floor to join the Liberal Party, according to a statement released Thursday night.

“After listening closely to the people of Markham–Unionville in recent weeks and discussing the direction of our country with my family, I have informed the Speaker and the Leader of the Opposition that I will be joining Prime Minister Mark Carney and the government caucus. This is a moment that calls for unity and decisive action for Canada’s future,” he said.

Ma’s move brings the Liberals to 171 seats — just one short of a majority.
