Liberal Leader Stephane Dion (right) just issued this statement:
It is with regret that I have received word of Mr. Khan's decision to leave the Liberal Caucus and join the Conservative Party.
As a member of the Liberal Party of Canada, I was never comfortable with Mr. Khan serving as an advisor to a Conservative Prime Minister, as Mr. Khan has done since August of last year.
As Leader of the Party, I felt it imperative that he decide to which party he would ultimately be loyal. Mr. Khan has now made that decision.
