| Description | Four federal byelections will be held in Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia early next year, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Friday.
The ridings -- Ontario's Toronto Centre and Willowdale, B.C.'s Vancouver Quadra and Saskatchewan's Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River -- will hold their byelections on Monday, March 17.
The Liberal party currently holds all four seats, and experts say they have a good chance at keeping at least three of them.
The two Ontario seats, both longtime Liberal ridings, will see high-profile Grit candidates campaigning for them.
Martha Hall Findlay, a former leadership candidate, will seek election in Willowdale.
Bob Rae, a one-time Ontario NDP premier and Liberal leadership hopeful, will be the Liberal candidate in Toronto Centre. The riding has not been represented in Parliament since Bill Graham stepped down on July 2. |
