Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole has announced he will not be seeking re-election and will resign as MP at the end of the spring session of Parliament.
“It has been the honour of a lifetime to serve my community in Parliament and to also have the privilege to serve the country as a Minister and as Leader of the Opposition,” he said in a statement on March 31.
“I am thankful to the people of Durham for their trust.”
O’Toole said he was fortunate to have been able to advance “critically important” issues like veterans’ mental health, military preparedness, and Canada’s Arctic sovereignty while in government. He said he will remain the MP for Durham until the end of Parliament’s spring session….
