Three more resignations would follow, including Nick Bergamini’s, Brown’s press secretary who had accompanied him to the news conference. At 1:24 a.m., the Ontario PC Twitter account posted a link to Brown’s statement of resignation. For this reason, after consulting with caucus, friends and family I have decided to step down as leader of the Ontario PC party. “The decision we came to was unanimous, that we supported the leader making his announcement last night,” he said. “We have to move forward; he has to deal with the allegations before him.”• Email: bplatt@postmedia.com | Twitter: btaplatt• Email:gzochodne@nationalpost.com| Twitter: geoffzochodne
