Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Denies Coercion in Resignation
Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux announced on Thursday that he is resigning from the House of Commons, dismissing speculation that he was planning to join the Liberals. Rumors circulated throughout the week suggesting the Alberta MP might cross the floor, with some Conservative sources claiming he faced pressure to remain in the party.
However, Jeneroux firmly denied any coercion in his decision, emphasizing his strong friendships within the Conservative Party. He stated:
"I want to be clear that there was no coercion involved in my decision to resign. I consider my colleagues in the Conservative Party very close friends, and I will miss them dearly."
Impact on Conservative Caucus and Parliamentary Dynamics
Jeneroux’s resignation marks the second Conservative departure this week, following Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont's move to the Liberals on Tuesday. These exits represent setbacks for Pierre Poilievre’s leadership and strengthen the minority Liberal government's position in passing legislation, such as this week's budget.
Jeneroux’s Statement and Reflections
In his resignation announcement, Jeneroux made only a brief mention of Poilievre. Later, through official party communications, it was shared that Jeneroux had a positive conversation with the Conservative leader, highlighting that his decision was motivated by a wish to spend more time with family:
"I had a great conversation with Pierre Poilievre, who wished me all the best, as I do him."
Author's summary: Matt Jeneroux clarified his resignation was voluntary and driven by family considerations, despite recent political tensions and party shifts.
