Alberta Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Resigns
Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux announced his resignation from the House of Commons, stepping down as the representative for Edmonton-Riverbend. The announcement was made Thursday via a letter posted on social media, following speculation about his political future and shortly after another Conservative MP switched parties.
“I ran in the last election hopeful that Canadians would put their faith in a team led by Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives,” the letter reads. “Although the outcome was not what I anticipated, I have great admiration for the many remarkable individuals who were elected to the House of Commons on both sides of the aisle.”
“For now, my focus must turn entirely to my family and to the responsibilities that come with that.”
The letter did not specify an exact date for Jeneroux’s resignation. However, a post from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre suggests that Jeneroux will remain in his role until spring 2026.
“On behalf of our Conservative team, I wish you and your family all the best following your decision to step down as MP next spring,” Poilievre wrote in response to the news.
Jeneroux has served as MP for Edmonton-Riverbend since 2015 and held various shadow cabinet roles, including health, housing, and infrastructure portfolios.
