One more seat for the Conservatives.
Joe Comuzzi, the Liberal who was kicked out of the Liberal caucus by Stephane Dion for supporting the Conservative budget, is now a Conservative.
The Thunder Bay-Superior North MP was introduced as such today by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
The 74-year-old, 19-year House of Commons veteran, has said he won't be running in the next election.
He said he endorsed Harper's budget because it promised cash for a cancer research centre in Thunder Bay.
So, starting with the seat counts after the last election, here is where we now stand:
Conservatives (124) + Emerson - Turner + Khan - Casey + Comuzzi = 125
Liberals (103) - Emerson - Fontana + Pearson - Khan + Turner - Comuzzi = 101
Bloc Quebecois (51) - Sauvageau + Gravel - Thibault = 50
Independents (1) + Turner - Turner + Comuzzi + Thibault + Casey - Comuzzi = 3
