Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont said Wednesday he left the Conservative caucus because he didn't feel represented in leader Pierre Poilievre's party anymore and bristled at his "negative" approach to politics.

D'Entremont said there are other Conservative MPs who "are in the same boat" and they may join him in crossing over to Liberals.

"In the last number of months, I wasn't feeling I was aligned with the ideals of what the leader of the Opposition had been talking about," d'Entremont told reporters of Poilievre after appearing with Prime Minister Mark Carney at a post-budget press conference, the day after he crossed the floor.

Asked what pushed him out, d'Entremont said: "It's just looking at leadership styles and whether we're doing the right thing for Canada."
