Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole has kicked out Senator Denise Batters from his caucus after her call for the party to conduct a leadership review. Batters launched a public petition Monday, calling on party members to support a leadership review of Erin O’Toole.

"Senator Denise Batters has been removed from the Conservative national caucus. As the Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, I will not tolerate an individual discrediting and showing a clear lack of respect toward the efforts of the entire Conservative caucus, who are holding the corrupt and disastrous Trudeau government to account," Mr. O’Toole said in a statement released late Tuesday evening.

"Just eight weeks ago, Canadians elected Conservatives to hold Justin Trudeau accountable for his economic mismanagement, and fight the cost-of-living crisis, skyrocketing inflation, and supply chain issues that are crippling businesses. That is our focus as a team."

Senator Batters responded to her removal via Twitter, where she noted she received a voicemail informing her of the decision.

"Tonight, Erin O'Toole tried to silence me for giving our CPC members a voice. I will not be silenced by a leader so weak that he fired me VIA VOICEMAIL. Most importantly, he cannot suppress the will of our Conservative Party members!" Batters said.

This news comes as CPC National Councillor Bert Chen has also been suspended indefinitely, after calling for a leadership review.
