Wilson says he will continue to serve the Simcoe-Grey riding until the next election is called.
He was first elected in 1990.
He served in the cabinets of three Ontario premiers and even temporarily led the P-C party on an interim basis between July 2014 and May 2015.
In a statement, Wilson says he doesn’t know what’s in store for him personally in the years to come, but says he will always have the best interests of Simcoe-Grey in mind and will continue to contribute in any way that he can.
