The MP for Durham announced he won\u0027t be seeking re\u002Delection and that he\u0027ll resign his seat in the House of Commons.
O’Toole, 50, was born in Montreal, the son of former Progressive Conservative MPP John O’Toole, who represented Durham in the Ontario legislature.
O’Toole worked mainly in business and corporate law during his legal career, practising at law firms including Bay Street law firm Stikeman Elliott and as in-house counsel for Procter and Gamble. O’Toole managed to hold onto his seat following the Conservatives’ defeat in the 2015 federal election, followed by an unsuccessful bid as interim party leader.O’Toole tried and failed to win party leadership in 2017, finishing third behind winner Andrew Scheer and runner-up Maxime Bernier.
That sparked an internal review of O’Toole’s leadership spearheaded by former Calgary-Heritage MP Bob Benzen, who accused him of flip-flopping on vital issues and veering from his original platform. Despite publicly defending his leadership, accusing some in the party of turning the CPC into “the NDP of the right,” and facing criticism for being insufficiently supportive of the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa, O’Toole was ousted as leader in February 2022 in a 73-to-45 caucus vote, but held onto his seat in the House.
