With the legislature resuming today questions remain as to whether Green Party Leader Mike Schreiner will cross the floor to join the Ontario Liberal Party, a move that would position him as a contender in their leadership race.
But the validity of such a move could be challenged at the Liberals’ upcoming annual general meeting based on a proposal some observers say could keep Schreiner out.
The proposal—“that any candidate for leader, in addition to existing requirements, also have been a member of OLP as of January 1 of the year a leadership contest is called”—will be debated and decided on at the party’s March 3 meeting. Submissions for constitutional amendment proposals were open to any member of the Ontario Liberal Party until Feb. 1.
Schreiner has been mum on the topic since. Neither Schreiner nor his representative returned a request for comment about whether he will cross the floor or if interim Green Party leaders were being interviewed.
