Conservative MP and former shadow minister for Democratic Institutions Scott Reid says Andrew Scheer removed him from his critic role over a disagreement on the Cannabis Act.
Reid, one of the two longest-serving Conservative MPs, made the allegations on December 30 in a publication titled “Scott Reid on Democracy, released on his constituency website.
“Today, an MP who votes his or her conscience, or the will of his or her constituents, on any matter where the leader wants a different outcome will, in punishment for his or her disobedience, be tossed out of shadow cabinet and possibly off of committees,” wrote Reid.
