Fred Tilley, Progressive Conservative candidate for the Cape Breton riding of Northside-Westmount admits he took information from the Liberals before he switched parties last month.
He was the Liberal MLA for the constituency, but crossed the floor to join the PCs just before Premier Tim Houston called a provincial election.
On Tuesday, Tilley told CBC’s Information Morning Cape Breton that as a Liberal at the time, it was his information to take. [emphasis added]
