Conservative MP Larry Brock officially resigns from House of Commons

Conservative MP Larry Brock has officially resigned from the House of Commons after five years representing Brantford-Brant South. Last month, Brock announced his plans to step down and return to the role of Crown prosecutor. A byelection will be held in the Ontario riding, along with five other currently vacant seats, in the coming months.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre intends to hold a rally in Brantford over the weekend. Brock joins a total of six MPs who have left Poilievre’s caucus over the past year, with four defecting to the Liberal government and Richard Martel joining the Senate this summer.
