Khan is expected to make a formal announcement tomorrow and will likely describe that he is switching parties because of the "values" that the Prime Minister represents.

Do you think our elected politicians should be allowed to cross the floor or should they be required to sit as Independants until the next election?

The forum will be quite busy.
Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion says he won't allow Mississauga MP Wajid Khan to keep serving as a "special adviser" to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Calling it "bizarre" for a Liberal MP to be advising a Conservative prime minister, Dion said it's time for Khan to choose his political team.

"You can't have a foot in the government and a foot in the opposition," Dion told reporters yesterday.
"He needs to choose. I hope he will stay with us,"

Take your time and watch your step
You'd better get it right
Or you'll get left behind
The way you're dancin' I can tell
That someone else is on your mind
You'd better dance with the one that brung ya
You'd better hold on to the one that loves you
You'd better turn around before we're through
And dance with the one that brung ya
You'd better dance
And that sparkle in your wanderin' eye
Has struck you blind as far as I can see
Take one step back and look again
You're gonna leave with him
Or stay with me

If there was an ultimatum at all. This could just be the Liberals trying to put a good face on a defection.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative minority government has received a boost thanks to the defection of Toronto-area Liberal Wajid Khan.
Khan, who has been serving as Harper’s special adviser on the Middle East and Afghanistan since last summer, is crossing the floor to the Tory government benches, shifting the delicate balance of power in the 308-seat House of Commons.
Khan’s defection brings the minority government ranks to 125 MPs, meaning the Conservatives need only the co-operation of the 29-member NDP caucus to pass legislation.
