Elizabeth May Green
“I want the member to tell us more about the government trying to recruit her to switch parties. The government said they never tried to do that to anyone.”
“Mr. Speaker, this is the first time I have heard publicly that the member was specifically courted and that there was an attempt to recruit her to cross the floor. I wonder if she could expand on that and confirm whether it is true. It is the first time I have heard it, and it is indeed shocking because we have been assured by the government benches that they never tried to recruit anyone.”
