Mr. Speaker, while I find floor crossing to be a reprehensible action, I do not believe that this power should be taken away from individual MPs. Call me a Conservative, but I believe that, at the end of the day, we are all accountable to the people who elected us. I know that there are varying positions on this in every political party. Ultimately, I believe in accountability to the people who elected me to stand as Brad Vis, as the member for Mission—Matsqui—Abbotsford, in the chamber to represent them and to use my due judgment to make decisions on their behalf.
In the House of Commons on April 16th, 2026. See this statement in context.
