Not entirely ousted: Senator critical of O’Toole remains member of Tory Senate caucus

Despite challenging O’Toole’s leadership of the Conservative party, Denise Batters remains a member of the Senate caucus

Denise Batters remains a member of the Senate Conservative caucus, even though Erin O’Toole ousted the Saskatchewan senator from the national Conservative caucus earlier this week for challenging his leadership of the party.

“As always, I continue to support Erin O’Toole’s strong and principled leadership to unite the Conservative Party of Canada” Mr. Plett said in a tweet on Tuesday after the Conservatives announced that Ms. Batters was no longer a member of the national caucus.On Monday, Ms. Batters launched a petition that urged party members to support a review of Mr. O’Toole’s leadership within the next six months, rather than wait for the next party convention, which is expected in 2023.

“Anyone who is not on that page, who’s not putting the team and the country first, will not be part of this team,” Mr. O’Toole said ahead of a two-day caucus meeting that concluded on Thursday.
