Scott was elected for the first time in February, very narrowly beating the NDP candidate in the riding by a little over 100 votes.
In a brief statement, a spokesperson for Premier Doug Ford announced Scott would no longer sit with the government.
“MPP Chris Scott is no longer a member of the PC caucus,” Ford’s office said.
No additional details were given.
Internally, some government sources were at a loss to explain what had happened, signalling that the premier’s office had shared little with its staff and members.
Asked about the removal, Ford also offered no information. “Well, Chris will be no longer sitting with our caucus, you can ask Chris Scott the reason why,” the premier said.
Global News has contacted Scott for comment.
