Conservative leader Erin O’Toole announced late Tuesday that Saskatchewan senator Denise Batters was being expelled from the Conservative caucus after she launched a petition calling for a referendum on his leadership within six months.
A leadership review is currently scheduled for the party’s national convention in 2023, though MPs did vote in October to give themselves the power to potentially oust him earlier.
Batters in a statement this morning says she is and will always be a Conservative, and says members deserve to have a say on the leadership and direction of the party after an election loss on Sept. 20.
