A federal minister dropped hints about more floor-crossings Monday following the defection of Ontario MP Michael Ma to the Liberals last week.

When asked whether more opposition MPs are getting ready to cross the floor to join the government, Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said people have reached out.

“Let’s say I’m getting lots of inquiries,” Hodgson told a Toronto news conference.

Ma’s decision to leave the Conservative caucus and join the Liberals — less than 24 hours after attending the Official Opposition’s Christmas party — brought the government to within one seat of a majority on Thursday.
