“Since that false statement was first made by the Government House Leader, I have taken the time to carefully reflect on the events that occurred leading up to October 1st. Given the breakdown and trust that has transpired, I have decided that it is not possible to continue as a Progressive Conservative member in the legislature and I am resigning from the Progressive Conservative caucus, effective immediately,” the Durham MPP said.
“I will continue to serve my constituents until the next provincial election sitting as an independent member and I will continue to contribute to conservative causes well into the future. Being the member of provincial parliament for Durham and being Durham’s voice at Queen’s Park has been the honour of my life. I know the people of Durham will elect a member of provincial parliament as my successor who will continue the important community projects we have advanced during my term and start new ones that will continue to make Durham one of the best places to live, work and raise a family. Durham is where I met the love of my life and the community my husband and I will continue to call home,” she added.
