OTTAWA - Liberal MP Joe Comuzzi was booted from the Grit caucus by leader Stephane Dion on Wednesday after saying he might vote for the Conservative budget because it contained funds for a cancer research centre in his Thunder Bay, Ont. constituency. He also said the budget is "a cookie jar" with Conservative instead of Liberal hands in it. It is the second time since he became leader that Dion has faced a rebellious caucus member.
