Ontario MPP Steve Clark resigned from his post of Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing on Sunday.
In his letter to the Premier he says always tried to fulfill the mandate of getting more homes built so that people across Ontario could realize the dream of finding a place to live, work and raise a family.
He says his presence will only cause a further distraction from the important work that needs to be done and he takes accountability for what has transpired.
He advises he will continue to serve his constituents as MPP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.
