FORMER Liberal MP for Brampton East, Raj Grewal, has decided not to step down as MP for Brampton East.
Grewal, who sits as an Independent, had taken a leave to deal with a compulsive gambling problem.
In a post on his Facebook last Friday he wrote: “Over the past two months, I have taken some time away to focus on my health and receive appropriate treatment. Despite being a challenging time, it has been a period of immense personal growth; an opportunity to learn from my mistakes; and a needed pause to gain clarity on my political future. Throughout this time, I also received countless calls and messages from constituents offering their support and encouraging me to continue to serve.
“It is for these reasons that I have decided to remain as the Member of Parliament for Brampton East.
“I did not come to this decision lightly. In making this decision, I reflected a great deal on why I chose to run for public office in the first place. As an MP, my first and most important job is to ensure that I am accessible to help solve problems faced by my constituents and to reflect their views and priorities.
“Through it all, I have never lost sight of this fact and will continue to work hard for the people of Brampton East. I am looking forward to returning to work refreshed, renewed and re-energized.
“As always, if I can be of any service please do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to help in any way I can.”
