Liberal MP Shaun Chen says he will resign from Parliament at the end of the week, citing health problems related to injuries from a car accident last year. Global News reports that the Scarborough North MP’s injuries have affected his ability to travel to Ottawa as required for the role.
Several outlets describe the timing of his decision. City News Toronto says Chen plans to resign at the end of this week, while The National Observer and Winnipeg Free Press also report that he is stepping down following the same incident and subsequent health impacts. The coverage focuses on the reason for his resignation—his “significant” health issues—and how the accident affects his capacity to meet the demands of his position.
Across the reports, the central points align on Chen’s planned departure and the causal link between his late-2025 car accident and his current health limitations, with differences mainly in wording and emphasis rather than in the underlying facts.
