Michael Ma
Ontario MP Michael Ma recently crossed the floor from the Conservative Party to join the Liberals, becoming the second Conservative MP to do so in recent weeks. His decision brings the Liberal caucus to 171 seats, just one short of a majority. Elected for the first time in April, Ma stated his focus is on solutions rather than division, expressing support for Prime Minister Carney's approach to making life more affordable and creating opportunities for Canadians. Prior to entering politics, Ma was born in Hong Kong and raised in Vancouver, and he holds an MBA with a background in technology and business.
