Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux announced on Thursday that he is resigning from his position as the MP for Edmonton Riverbend. Despite earlier rumours, he confirmed he will not be joining the Liberal Party.
Speculation had emerged on Wednesday that Jeneroux might follow former colleague Chris d’Entremont in leaving the Conservatives to join the Liberals. This, however, did not materialize.
