Leitch: Time and Surgeon

leitch: I have concluded, however, that the time has come for me to serve in other ways, including as a surgeon and volunteer, according to Rabble. She gave no specific reason for her departure beyond saying is it time to return to the public service that is the core of my being. My time in politics has been a genuine privilege, and I will always be thankful to the constituents of Simcoe-Grey for their tremendous support, Leitch said in a statement late Tuesday. She said she will serve out the rest of her term, but then I'm looking forward to getting kids back on the playground to play. Leitch, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, was first elected in her Ontario riding in 2011 and made a failed bid for the party's leadership last year. She has been a valued member of the caucus for a long period of time, said Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
