Former Liberal MP Raj Grewal says he’s staying on as the member of Parliament for Brampton East.
Last November, Grewal announced he was taking a leave to deal with what he called a compulsive gambling problem that caused him to rack up millions of dollars in debt.
At the time he promised to make a final decision on his political future before Parliament resumed in 2019.
