Here’s a Look at Ridings Where Voters Can Expect Federal Byelections to Be Called

Multiple MPs are leaving for diplomatic posts, provincial races and retirements, setting up byelections in ridings across the country.

  • On Tuesday, Conservative MP Richard Martel and Liberal MP Nate Erskine-Smith resigned from the House of Commons, triggering upcoming by-elections in Quebec and Ontario.
  • Voters in several ridings will soon choose new federal representatives as members of Parliament from four major parties depart for diplomatic roles, retirements, and provincial political campaigns.
  • Martel accepted a Senate appointment from Prime Minister Mark Carney, while Erskine-Smith's plans to seek the Ontario Liberal party leadership stalled after failing to secure a Scarborough nomination.
  • Under parliamentary rules, Prime Minister Mark Carney must call by-elections for the vacant seats between 11 and 180 days following the resignations.
  • Additional departures include Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall, who retires August 31, and former cabinet minister Jonathan Wilkinson, recently appointed Canada's ambassador to the European Union.
