Conservative MP Scott Aitchison announces resignation ‘after 30 years of public life’

Tory housing critic joins eight other MPs who have left the party in the past year

Conservative MP Scott Aitchison intends to step down from his Parry Sound-Muskoka seat at the end of the ongoing fall parliamentary session. Aitchison made this announcement in a letter sent to his constituents. The 30-year veteran of public service has decided to pursue new opportunities following his tenure. In his statement, Aitchison expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him throughout his career, stating that serving as their Member of Parliament for the past seven years has been an honor.

He served in various civic capacities, including Huntsville Town Council, Muskoka District Council, and Mayor of Huntsville. Aitchison's dedication to consensus-building, reducing bureaucracy, and enhancing the well-being of the residents who entrusted him with their vote is evident. Since January, a total of twelve Conservative MPs have chosen to resign.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre expressed appreciation for Aitchison's service and wished him well in his forthcoming endeavors.
