Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux announced Thursday he is resigning from the House of Commons, according to statement shared with CBC News.<\/p>\n

The decision comes after rumours swirled this week that the Alberta member was considering crossing the floor to the Liberals.<\/p>\n

Jeneroux, who was first elected in 2015, said he spoke with Chris Warkentin, the party’s whip, earlier Thursday to tell him of his intention to resign.<\/p>\n

“I hope to have the opportunity to address the House one final time in the future. For now, my focus must turn entirely to my family and to the responsibilities that come with that,” Jeneroux said.<\/p>\n

The Edmonton-area MP said he was “deeply grateful” for those who have reached out to him in recent days while also urging\u00a0people to “please not attempt to contact my family\u00a0during this time.”<\/p>\n

Jeneroux said he ran in the last election “hopeful that Canadians would put their faith in a team led by Pierre Poilievre’s\u00a0Conservatives,” and he “wanted desperately to play a role in that vision” but “the outcome was not what I anticipated.”<\/p>\n

More to come.<\/p>\n
