letter admonished Shurman for claiming mileage from his Niagara-on-the-Lake home to Toronto as an expense, something specifically cleared by the Legislative Finance Department. Shurman dismissed Hudak's accusation as nonsensical and politically motivated and labeled it 'bogus'. He did announce (on December 9) that he would resign his seat effective December 31. In a letter to his constituents, he said, "The decision is entirely my own and results from lengthy reflection and discussion with family... I have concluded that continuing with my political career would be a mistake for me." Peter Shurman continued to reside in Niagara-on-the-Lake until 2018 and now makes his home in midtown Toronto. He is engaged in business and political consulting activities and talk radio broadcasting. He appeared regularly on Global News Radio 640 Toronto as a fill-in host until October 2021.
