Ruby Dhalla has claimed that party has levelled serious allegations against her which she describes as false and fabricated.
"The allegations that the party have used against me are false, & fabricated. The tactics used to remove me from this race only confirm what we already knew—our message was resonating, we were winning, and the establishment felt threatened," she said.
"One day it was foreign interference, one day it was campaign violations - all in an attempt to keep me from debating Carney and winning. I will continue to stand up for Canadians & fight for Canada," she further added.
