Conservative MP Larry Brock Announces Resignation

Published:

Conservative Member of Parliament Larry Brock has announced his upcoming resignation from the House of Commons next month. Brock, who represents the Ontario riding of Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations, was elected to Parliament in both the 2021 and 2025 federal elections. Prior to his tenure in the House of Commons, Brock served as an assistant Crown attorney.

In a statement shared on social media, Brock mentioned that he has accepted an opportunity to rejoin the Brantford Crown Attorney’s office directly on the frontlines of justice. His resignation is scheduled to take effect on September 18, as stated in the letter detailing his departure.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre expressed gratitude towards Brock for his service as an MP in a brief message on the platform X. Poilievre conveyed his well wishes, saying, “My ardent wish is for you and your family to have all the success and happiness in the world. God bless, my friend.”

Following the 2025 federal election, where the Conservatives secured the second-highest number of seats, seven MPs, including Brock, have departed from the party’s federal caucus. Notably, four Conservative MPs crossed the floor to join the governing Liberals: Chris d’Entremont, Michael Ma, Matt Jeneroux, and Marilyn Gladu. Additionally, Richard Martel, the former MP for Chicoutimi—Le Fjord in Quebec, was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Mark Carney in July.

Furthermore, Cathay Wagantall, a Conservative MP since 2015, is set to resign from her seat representing Yorkton—Melville in Saskatchewan, effective August 31.
