Brown, who currently serves as Mayor of Brampton, Ontario’s fourth largest city, had previously served as a federal MP from 2006 until 2015 when he took over as leader of Ontario’s Progressive Conservative Party. Brown served as opposition leader in Ontario for roughly two and a half years before resigning.
He stepped down in the wake of a CTV report claiming that while he was an MP he had been inappropriately intimate with a woman under the age of 18. Brown always maintained that the story was incorrect and a smear upon his reputation.
That story was later deemed to be false. On Tuesday, CTV issued a statement that “Key details provided to CTV for the story were factually incorrect.” The network also expressed regret for running the story.
