Liberal MP Shaun Chen says he plans to resign at the end of this week.
The Scarborough North MP issued a statement on social media today saying injuries sustained in a car accident in late 2025 have prevented him from travelling to Ottawa as often as the job requires.
Chen was first elected in 2015 after serving as the chair of the Toronto District School Board.
