Correction: Derek Sloan has not been officially removed from caucus as of January 18, 2021. In accordance with the Reform Act, a caucus most move to vote Mr. Sloan out.
Conservative Party Leader Erin O'Toole has removed MP Derek Sloan from caucus. This news comes after it was revealed that Sloan accepted a campaign donation from Paul Fromm, a known white supremacist. This donation occurred during Sloan's Leadership Campaign.
In a statement, O'Toole said "Derek Sloan's acceptance of a donation from a well-known white supremacist is far worse than a gross error of judge or failure of due diligence. "
O'Toole continued, "In accordance with the Reform Act I have initiated the process to remove Mr. Sloan from the Conservative Party of Canada caucus. I expect this to be done as quickly as possible. Moreover, as Leader of Canada's Conservatives, I will not allow Mr. Sloan to run as a candidate for our party."
The Opposition Leader concluded, "racism is a disease of the soul, repugnant to our core values. It has no place in our country. It has no place in the Conservative Party of Canada. I won't tolerate it."
