Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux to Resign from Parliament
Conservative Alberta MP Matt Jeneroux announced he will resign his seat in the House of Commons following days of speculation about a possible floor-crossing to the governing Liberals. The move follows a turbulent week within the party.
Resignation Announcement
In a letter obtained by National Post, the Edmonton Riverbend MP informed Conservative Party Whip Chris Warkentin on Thursday about his intention to leave Parliament at an unspecified date. Jeneroux stated:
“It was not an easy decision, but it is, I believe, the right one.”
He did not provide a clear reason for his sudden resignation after serving since 2015.
Reflections and Party Relations
Jeneroux’s letter made little mention of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre but expressed respect for his colleagues across party lines:
He noted his admiration “for the many remarkable individuals” on “both sides of the aisle” in the House of Commons.
Political Impact
This resignation marks the second dramatic departure from the Conservative caucus within three days, significantly weakening Poilievre’s position ahead of a leadership review scheduled for January.
