She said she’s been told there is a difference of opinion among Liberals and believes there will be an opportunity within her new caucus to have a more “healthy discussion and debate” than was possible with her former team.
“I know I’m going to a place where I’m not alone in how I feel about this issue, and that I’ll have that collaboration to work through it and come to an understanding, and that’s what I’m very much looking forward to,” she said, without naming names.
The Conservatives have sought to attack the Liberals over the move, framing it as welcoming in “another anti-Israeli MP,” suggesting she will be “in good company.”
