Ontario Conservative MP Larry Brock says he will step down as a member of Parliament next month.
Brock, a former prosecutor and MP for Brantford-Brant South-Six Nations, says on social media he will officially resign his seat on Sept. 18.
He says he will return to the Crown attorney’s office in Brantford, Ont.

Brock was first elected in 2021 and served as his party’s justice critic but was shuffled out of that position by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in June.
Brock says he is returning to the front lines of justice and that getting back in the courtroom means he can continue being tough on crime.
Brock is the seventh MP to leave Poilievre’s caucus since the 2025 election, with four of them crossing the floor to the Liberals.
His departure will trigger a byelection in the southwestern Ontario riding.
