Statement from Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown on the Resignation of Tim Hudak

Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown issued the following statement today regarding the resignation of MPP Tim Hudak (Niagara West-Glanbrook).  

“On behalf of the Ontario PC Party and Caucus, I would like to thank Tim Hudak for his years of service to his constituents, the Ontario PC Party, and the province of Ontario.  

First elected in 1995 at age 27, Tim has been a stalwart in the Ontario PC Party and the Niagara Region community. 

During his time in elected office, Tim has honourably served as a MPP, held numerous ministerial positions including Northern Development Mines, Tourism, Culture and Recreation, and Consumer and Business Services, and held the role of Ontario PC Leader and Leader of the Official Opposition. 

Throughout his over 20 years of service Tim has always worked hard in the best interests of his constituents and the province. I was moved by his compassionate and emotional speech in the Legislature in opposition to the Liberal Government’s callous cuts to autism therapy.  

I will always remember Tim as a devoted husband and a passionate family man.  We would like to thank Deb Hutton, Maitland and Miller for sharing their husband and father with us. 

On behalf of the Ontario PC Party I thank Tim for his passionate years of service and advocacy. I know all of us will miss his advice and experience around the Caucus table. We wish him all the very best in this next chapter of his career.”
