The most vocal critic among the Conservative MPs yesterday was Garth Turner, from Halton, Ont., who said the public was justified in being concerned about the controversial appointments of Mr. Emerson and Michel Fortier, the unelected party organizer who will be a Quebec senator and Public Works Minister.
"My own view would be I think a by-election would be a great idea," Mr. Turner told reporters when asked about Mr. Emerson. "This kind of thing actually grates a lot of people the wrong way."

Harold Albrecht, the rookie Tory MP for Kitchener-Conestoga, said he continues to oppose party switching and wanted to talk to his colleagues about the issue. Mike Allen, a newly elected New Brunswick Conservative, had little to say in Mr. Emerson's defence.
"He made the choice," Mr. Allen said. "He's going to have to deal with his electorate. Here's how I would put it: If the offer had been made to me, then I just wouldn't. That's my personal view. I just wouldn't do it."
