I honestly don't see what the issue is here. In our system the party members represent their constituency. If that constituency votes conservative, then the party member has to represent those voters, regardless of how the party in power operates.
I'd argue that a minority party not only has the right to visit leaders outside of Canada, but has an obligation to do so. We have a parliamentary system that is supposed to reflect a variety of views. If one party feels that their views are not being properly promoted, either outside or inside Canada, they have an obligation to promote those views themselves.
Some people might see this as being "fractured" and a weakness. However, it also reflects a country with a functioning democracy and a variety of political parties that are allowed to operate freely. It's very common for other nations to do the same, particularly in Europe, where the various aligning parties will not only meet, but often form their own umbrella parties, where they exchange strategies and ideas.
BTW I did not vote conservative.
