OTTAWA - Former prime minister Stephen Harper will resign today as a member of parliament.
Harper is expected to issue a statement later this morning, 10 months after he lost the federal election and stepped down as Conservative party leader.
"We put everything on the table, we gave everything we have to give, and we have no regrets whatsoever," he told supporters on election night.
"Friends, how could we? We remain citizens of the best country on Earth."
But the 57-year-old had chosen to stay on as an MP for his riding of Calgary-Heritage and routinely showed up for votes in the House of Commons over the last few months.
Harper was first elected as a Reform MP in 1993 and would go on to become the first leader of the modern day Conservative Party in 2003.
Harper will now make a move into consulting on international issues alongside two of his most trusted former advisers.
The trio are listed as directors on a corporation first set up in December called Harper and Associates Consulting.
