| Description | MONTREAL -- The NDP is hoping that a former provincial Liberal cabinet minister can give the party its first electoral breakthrough in Quebec in almost 20 years.
Thomas Mulcair, who was Liberal Premier Jean Charest's environment minister until 2006, will run for the New Democratic Party in Montreal's Outremont riding. No date for the byelection has been set yet.
NDP Leader Jack Layton said Thursday the byelection will be a chance for voters to let Prime Minister Stephen Harper know how they feel about his policies on the environment and Canada's mission in Afghanistan.
"It will send a message to the government of Stephen Harper that the people in this community do not support the direction he's taking on the war in Afghanistan."
Although the NDP says it opposes the war, it maintains it supports the troops. |
