Recent floor crossings by opposition MPs, including four Conservatives and one New Democrat since November 2025, have bolstered Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government to a slim majority following April by-elections. These defections, driven by alignments on economic policy and calls for stability, reduced immediate pressure for further switches while highlighting ongoing dissatisfaction within Conservative ranks under Pierre Poilievre. Public opinion remains divided on the practice, with some viewing it as undermining voter mandates. No additional crossings have occurred since early April 2026, though reports of talks involving remaining opposition members continue to shape trader assessments of near-term probability.
