Liberal MP Nicola Di Iorio, who has has not been seen on Parliament Hill since the House resumed sitting this fall, says he's done with public life — and this time, he means it. The Quebec Liberal MP first announced his resignation last April, but didn't follow through on his promise to quit. After posting a lengthy statement on his Facebook page Tuesday, Di Iorio told CBC News his resignation will take effect January 2019. Fellow Quebec Liberal MP François-Philippe Champagne said he wishes Di Iorio well. Last week, Di Iorio posted a short message on Facebook saying Trudeau had assigned him responsibilities that required his absence from the House of Commons.
