Conservative MP Scott Aitchison to resign by end of year: source
Scott Aitchison’s departure adds to a recent wave of Conservative MPs leaving electoral politics, with no public reason given for his planned exit.
- Conservative MP Scott Aitchison is expected to resign his Parry Sound-Muskoka seat later this fall, according to two sources who told CBC News; a senior Conservative source said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was informed last week.
- Aitchison has represented Ontario's Parry Sound-Muskoka since the 2019 election and launched a leadership bid in the 2022 Conservative campaign; Poilievre named him housing critic.
- His departure reflects broader caucus turnover, with former MPs Cathay Wagantall and Larry Brock stepping down in the past month alongside Aitchison's exit.
- The announcement of Aitchison's resignation is expected next week, with his departure timed for the end of the fall sitting; his office did not immediately comment.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed former Conservative MP Richard Martel to the Senate earlier this summer, and Martel was sworn into the Red Chamber earlier this week.
