Ontario Conservative MP Larry Brock to resign in September, returning to Crown Attorney role
Conservative MP Larry Brock announced he will leave the House of Commons on Sept. 18 to rejoin the Brantford Crown Attorney's office.
Ontario’s Larry Brock, who has represented the Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations riding since his 2021 win and was re-elected in 2025, posted a letter on Thursday stating he will resign from Parliament on Sept. 18 to return to a position at the Brantford Crown Attorney’s office. The former assistant Crown attorney highlighted the opportunity to work directly on the frontlines of justice. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre responded on X, wishing Brock and his family success.
Brock’s departure marks the seventh Conservative MP to leave the party’s caucus since the 2025 federal election, a tally that includes four members who joined the governing Liberals, former MP Richard Martel’s Senate appointment by Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Cathay Wagantall’s upcoming resignation in Saskatchewan. The resignations underscore a period of notable turnover within the party’s parliamentary ranks.
Why it matters
The resignation adds to a wave of Conservative MP departures, affecting the party's parliamentary strength after the 2025 election.
