Prime Minister Carney thanks Nova Scotia MP d’Entremont for joining Liberal caucus

By Canadian Press on November 5, 2025.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is thanking Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont for crossing the floor to the Liberals from the Conservatives after the tabling of yesterday’s budget.

This move puts the Liberals two seats away from a majority government.

Carney says it’s “an honour” to welcome d’Entremont to the Liberal caucus during a news conference at an OC Transpo train yard in Ottawa where he is promoting the budget.

D’Entremont is joining Carney at the first public post-budget event.

D’Entremont said in a statement Tuesday that the current moment requires leadership “not with complaint, but with confidence in a strong future.”

He will attend his first Liberal caucus meeting this morning, as MPs from political parties hold weekly gatherings on Parliament Hill.
