CBC News reports the NDP is proposing legislation that would require MPs who switch parties after an election to either seek a new mandate through a byelection or sit as an Independent until the next election.
The proposal follows five MPs crossing the floor to join Mark Carney's Liberals in just five months.
What do you think?
If you voted for an MP because of their party affiliation, should they be allowed to switch parties without asking voters first?
Does the seat belong to the individual MP, or to the voters who elected them under a particular platform?
