      New backbench Liberal MP Michael Ma, who made headlines for crossing the floor from the Conservatives last month, will join Prime Minister Mark Carney on his first trip to China next week.

      Ma will be travelling to Beijing and Qatar alongside a coterie of Liberal cabinet members including Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson.

      His inclusion is notable because he is the only elected member of the delegation who is neither a minister nor a parliamentary secretary. He is vice-chair of the Canada-China Legislative Committee alongside 11 other MPs and senators.

      Why would you jump ship if you’re not getting a promotion. Can’t blame Ma if he’s getting more responsibility in Carney administration.

      The question is, did Carney recruited him because of his caliber/experience, or to stay in power?

      PM brings MP who is the only Chinese born MP in parliament to meet with the Chinese. Is this really earth shattering?

      Can’t wait to see how the opposition spins this one.

      I agree it’s probably bad optics for the Liberals right now – but bringing him along isn’t the craziest idea given his ability to bridge the two cultures. Seems like a good person to tag along and potentially give you an edge in negotiations.

      Would you leave your current employer for the same salary to get one business flight? Just garbage. Now if he got a cabinet post and a salary hike sure

      Don’t care what people say

      Ma reminds me of a Chinese Bob Barker

      That’s nice that Carney is taking him to his CCP official to report directly in person. They can both get their marching orders at the same time. Two birds get stoned at once, Bubbles.

      Bringing an MP that can speak Chinese to a country where everyone speaks Chinese? I am shocked.

      Quid pro quo that people insisted didn’t exist, instead „serving his constituents wishes“ was parroted. d’Entremont the new speaker, when?

      Obviously all it takes to convince a Chinese nationalist to flip is an aura farming photo with Xi on official business. The Ma’s will lean on it for generations.

      Conservatives: We need a pipeline immediately so we can sell oil to Asia!

      PM: Goes to China on a trade mission.

      Conservatives: No, not like that!
