The NDP justice critic has been busy probing the SNC-Lavalin affair, but plans to step down in October

Victoria MP Murray Rankin took a break Thursday from one of his busiest weeks ever in Ottawa to announce he will not run in this year’s federal election.

He noted, too, that he’s leaving behind a strong electoral-district association with money in the bank and a team of volunteers. “In an ironic way, I hope I can work harder on some of the issues now because I won’t be involved in knocking on thousands of doors and doing all-candidates meetings.” “I think it’s an important assignment,” he said. “I’ll be working on behalf of the provincial government. I’m not getting paid for this. I’m simply going to do this because I’m committed to doing it.”
