Canada's Liberal government has secured a parliamentary majority after a series of 'floor crossings' by members of other parties and victories in three by-elections. For the first time since October 2019, a Liberal majority government now holds power in Ottawa. Four Conservative MPs and one NDP MP defected to the Liberal government, and the Liberals won three by-elections on April 14. Prime Minister Mark Carney, a former central banker, now has a majority government to push through his agenda. Corporate Canada is demanding the government act 'boldly' in imposing 'sacrifices' on working people. The Globe and Mail urged Carney to slash public services and social spending more aggressively now that he has a parliamentary majority.
