In a statement issued by the Liberal Party, d\u2019Entremont said the federal budget unveiled Tuesday \u201chits the priorities I have heard most in my riding, to build strong community infrastructure and grow a stronger economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why I am joining the Government caucus,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
D\u2019Entremont said he informed Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, Opposition House Leader Andrew Scheer and Speaker of the House of Commons Francis Scarpaleggia of his resignation after the tabling of the budget.<\/p>\n

The move comes after d\u2019Entremont told Politico earlier Tuesday he was considering crossing the floor to join the Liberals, and would make a decision after reading the budget.<\/p>\n
Poilievre declared in the House of Commons that Conservatives would not support the budget after it was presented by Finance Minister Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne.<\/p>\n
D\u2019Entremont\u2019s move increases the Liberals\u2019 seat count in the House of Commons to 170.<\/p>\n
However, the minority government will still need two more votes or abstentions to pass its budget amid Conservative opposition.<\/p>\n
