安大略省议员、前保守党党魁候选人斯科特·艾奇逊周三表示，他打算在秋季会期结束时辞去议员席位。
Ontario MP and former Conservative leadership candidate Scott Aitchison said Wednesday that he intends to resign his seat at the end of the fall sitting.
“在公共服务30年后，是时候开启新篇章，探索新的机会了，”艾奇逊在社交媒体帖子中写道。
"After 30 years of public life, it is time for a new chapter where I will explore new opportunities," Aitchison wrote in a social media post.
艾奇逊——曾任安大略省亨茨维尔市长，自2019年以来一直担任帕里桑德-马斯科卡选区的议员——没有透露他的下一步计划。但他回顾了自己在公职中的时光，并感谢了选民和工作人员。
Aitchison — a former mayor of Huntsville, Ont., who has been MP for the Parry Sound–Muskoka riding since 2019 — didn't indicate what his next steps will be. But he reflected on his time in public office and thanked his constituents and staff.
“我努力建立共识，打破官僚作风，让那些信任我的人生活得更好，”他写道。“我秉持着养育我的小镇的价值观：尊重、体面、关照邻里。”CBC新闻周二报道称，艾奇逊打算今年秋天辞职。CTV新闻首先证实了他离职的消息。
"I worked to build consensus, cut through the bureaucracy, and make life better for the people who placed their trust in me," he wrote. "I carried myself with the same values of the town that raised me: respect, decency, and looking out for your neighbour." CBC News reported Tuesday that Aitchison had intended to step down this fall. CTV News first confirmed the news of his departure.
保守党议员斯科特·艾奇逊将辞职：消息人士称，艾奇逊在2022年保守党党魁竞选中发起竞选，最终波利耶夫被选为党魁，他排名第五。
Conservative MP Scott Aitchison to step down: sources Aitchson launched a leadership bid in the 2022 Conservative campaign that saw Poilievre chosen as the party's chief, where he finished fifth.
住房问题是艾奇逊党魁竞选的一个关键议题，波利耶夫任命他为住房事务评论员——他在声明中对此进行了回顾。
Housing was a key feature of Aitchison's leadership campaign and Poilievre named the MP as his housing critic — something he reflected on in his statement.
“各级政府都认识到过度监管以及过高的税费给住房可负担性带来的负担。我们的保守党团队可以为此所做的工作感到自豪，我知道团队会在我的离开后继续这项工作，”他写道。
"All levels of government have recognized the burden over-regulation and excessive taxes and fees place on housing affordability. Our Conservative team can be proud of the work we have done on this file and I know the team will continue this work after my departure," he wrote.
“致我的党团同事和保守党领袖皮埃尔·波利耶夫，能与你们并肩服务是我的荣幸。我有幸遇到来自全国各地的加拿大人，他们指望我们努力让所有加拿大人的生活更可负担。”议会定于12月11日休会。
"To my caucus colleagues and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, it has been a privilege to serve alongside you. I have been fortunate to meet Canadians from coast to coast who are counting on us to champion efforts to make life more affordable for all Canadians." Parliament is scheduled to sit until Dec. 11.
