CTV
Longtime Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu, who has been the face of the new intra-party caucus to raise the concerns of the unvaccinated in Canada, says Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole supports the initiative to create the group. In an interview on CTV's Question Period airing Sunday, Gladu also said that all members of the new caucus – between 15 and 30 Conservative MPs and Senators – support the leader, and that forming the group isn't a sign of an internal rift.

“I support Erin, everyone that is in this working group supports Erin. These working groups are a very typical way that we do business whenever there is an issue that Conservative MPs have in common that they want to get on,” she said.
“We have a little working caucus, and so Erin approves of the process. We will do the, you know, the digging into the issues, hearing from experts, stakeholders, and then bring back that information to caucus.”
She also told CTV News Channel’s Power Play on Friday that they’ve had a “conversation” with the leader and he “understands” this is a another working group.
