Tory caucus meeting to discuss possible Wildrose defectors
A northern Alberta MLA says he isn’t one of the Wildrose members who plans to switch sides.
The Progressive Conservative caucus is meeting today to talk about a bid by at least half the Official Opposition to cross the floor.
After rumours started swirling earlier this week about a mass defection, MLA Shayne Saskiw for Lac La Biche-St.Paul-Two-Hills posted the following statement on Facebook on Monday:

“I am committed to fighting for the constituents of Lac La Biche – St. Paul – Two Hills and to advocate for our priorities and for the needs of our communities. There is a rumour that I will be crossing the floor tomorrow. That rumour is false.”
The Canadian Press says Wildrose leader Danielle Smith and house leader Rob Anderson are those looking to join the PCs.
