By-elections to the 42nd Canadian Parliament
Results by riding. Different shading indicated party strength in the riding.

By-elections to the 42nd Canadian Parliament are held to fill vacancies in the House of Commons of Canada between the 2015 federal election and the next federal election. The 42nd Canadian Parliament has existed since 2015 with the membership of its House of Commons having been determined by the results of the Canadian federal election held on October 19, 2015. The Liberal Party of Canada has a majority government during this Parliament.

A by-election was held on October 24, 2016, following the death of Jim Hillyer (Conservative, Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner) on March 23, 2016.[1]

Five by-elections were held on April 3, 2017:

One was held following the death of Mauril Bélanger (Liberal, Ottawa—Vanier) on August 16, 2016.[2] A second was called due to the resignation from the House of Commons of former prime minister Stephen Harper (Conservative, Calgary Heritage) on August 26.[3] A third was held due to the resignation of Jason Kenney (Conservative, Calgary Midnapore), on September 23,[4] to enter provincial politics and pursue the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta.[5][6] A fourth by-election was called for the constituency of Markham—Thornhill following the appointment of John McCallum (Liberal) as Ambassador to China;[7] and a fifth was called for the constituency of Saint-Laurent following the appointment of Stéphane Dion (Liberal) as Ambassador to Germany.[8] They officially resigned their seats in the House of Commons on January 31, 2017.[9][10]

Two further by-elections were held on October 23, 2017, in Sturgeon River—Parkland and Lac-Saint-Jean, following the resignations of former interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose on July 4, 2017, and former Conservative deputy leader Denis Lebel on August 9.[11][12][13]

Four by-elections were held on December 11, 2017,[14] due to the death on September 14, 2017, of Arnold Chan (Liberal, Scarborough—Agincourt),[15] the resignations effective September 30, of former cabinet minister Judy Foote (Liberal, Bonavista—Burin—Trinity),[16] and Dianne Watts (Conservative, South Surrey—White Rock) to enter provincial politics and pursue the leadership of the British Columbia Liberal Party,[17] and in Battlefords—Lloydminster due to the resignation of Conservative MP Gerry Ritz on October 2.[18]

One by-election was held on June 18, 2018 following the resignation of Denis Lemieux (Liberal, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord).[19] on December 1, 2017.[20][21]

One by-election was held on December 3, 2018 following the death of Gord Brown (Conservative, Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes) on May 2, 2018.[22]

Three additional by-elections are being held on February 25, 2019 due to the announcement by former New Democratic Party leader Tom Mulcair of his resignation of the seat of Outremont on August 3, 2018 to accept an academic position,[23][24] the announcement by NDP MP Kennedy Stewart of his resignation of the seat of Burnaby South on September 17 to run for Mayor of Vancouver,[25][26] and the announcement by Conservative MP Peter Van Loan of his resignation of the seat of York—Simcoe on September 30, 2018.[27][28]

A further by-election is possible due to the resignation on January 2, 2019, of Sheila Malcolmson (NDP, Nanaimo—Ladysmith) to enter provincial politics.[29] However, the government has announced that no federal by-election will be called in the riding before the provincial by-election is held on January 30, 2019, iin order to avoid an "overlap".[30]

Due to the passage of Bill C-76 which made amendments to the Parliament of Canada Act that took effect December 2018, a writ for a by-election cannot be dropped within nine months of the fixed date for the next general election. As a result, the cut-off date for the announcement of a by-election for the 42nd Parliament is January 20, 2019. Any vacancies that occur after that date, or any vacant seats for which an election writ has not dropped by that date, will not be filled until the next federal election scheduled for October 21, 2019.[31][32]

Nicola Di Iorio (Liberal, Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel) has announced that he intends to resign effective January 22, 2019, two days after the deadline for by-elections to be announced.[33][34][35][32] Raj Grewal (Brampton East) had announced on November 23, 2018 that he intended to resign his seat due to a gambling addiction but later announced, on November 30, that he was resigning from the Liberal caucus but would keep his seat as an Independent for the time being.[36]

The writ for a by-election must be dropped no sooner than 11 days and no later than 180 days after the Chief Electoral Officer is officially notified of a vacancy via a warrant issued by the Speaker. Under the Canada Elections Act, the minimum length of a campaign is 36 days between dropping the writ and election day.[37]

October 24, 2016 by-election

Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner

A by-election was held on October 24, 2016,[1] in the riding of Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, which had been vacant since March 23, 2016, when Conservative Party of Canada MP Jim Hillyer died in his office following a heart attack.[38] The riding has been held by centre-right parties since Bert Hargrave defeated Liberal incumbent Bud Olson, himself a former Social Credit MP, in 1972.[1] This was the first by-election in the 108-year history of the Medicine Hat constituency. The Speaker's warrant regarding the vacancy was received on March 24, 2016.

Retired Medicine Hat Police inspector Glen Motz[1] defeated businessman Brian Benoit, former Cardston-Taber-Warner and Calgary-Glenmore MLA Paul Hinman, lawyer Michael W. Jones, and party worker Joe Schow for the Conservative nomination, which was held in late June.[39] Cypress-Medicine Hat MLA Drew Barnes, former Medicine Hat MLA Blake Pedersen, and Dan Hein, Hillyer's closest competitor for the nomination in 2015, all declined to run for the Conservative nomination despite speculation to the contrary.[40]

Well-known Medicine Hat businessman Stan Sakamoto was the Liberal candidate.[1]

The Libertarian Party of Canada nominated Sheldon Johnston as its candidate.[41] The Libertarians and the Rhinoceros Party nominated candidates for the first time in Medicine Hat.

April 3, 2017 by-elections

Ottawa—Vanier

A by-election was held on April 3, 2017,[2] in the riding of Ottawa—Vanier, which had been vacant since the death of Mauril Bélanger on August 16, 2016, from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease). The riding was one of the most solidly Liberal in the country, having elected Liberals both federally and provincially in every election since its creation in 1935.[43] The Speaker's warrant regarding the vacancy was received on August 23, 2016.

After several prominent potential candidates, including Bélanger's widow Catherine Bélanger, Ottawa councillors Tobi Nussbaum and Tim Tierney, and 2014 council candidate Catherine Fortin LeFaivre[44][45] declined to run, eight candidates sought the Liberal nomination: Senate staffer Khatera Akbari, lawyer Jean Claude Dubuisson, communications consultant Mona Fortier, Liberal staffer Eric Khaiat, former Cape Breton Highlands—Canso MP Francis LeBlanc, public servant Ainsley Malhotra, former executive director of The Humanitarian Coalition Nicolas Moyer, and Unique FM executive director Véronique Soucy. Up to 6,500 party members were eligible to vote in the nomination contest. Mona Fortier won the nomination on February 5, 2017.[46][47]

Unsuccessful 2015 candidate Emilie Taman, a University of Ottawa law professor and daughter of former Supreme Court Justice Louise Arbour, ran again for the NDP.[44]

Parliament Hill staffer Adrian Papara defeated former New Brunswick MLA Joel Bernard for the Conservative Party nomination, decided on February 16.[48]

Educator and community activist Nira Dookeran was the Green candidate.[49]

Calgary Heritage

The riding of Calgary Heritage became vacant when former Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper resigned his seat on August 26, 2016, to return to private life, including accepting directorships on corporate boards and establishing a consultancy firm.[3] The electoral district was created for the 2015 federal election and has had Harper as its only MP; however, it is largely composed of the former riding of Calgary Southwest which was held by conservative parties throughout its existence.

Bob Benzen, a small business owner and member of the Calgary Heritage Conservative Association[51] defeated Rick Billington, a lawyer and the former president of the Calgary Heritage Conservative Association, and city prosecutor Paul Frank for the Conservative nomination, which was decided on October 23.[52] Former Calgary Centre MP Joan Crockatt, party insider Alan Hallman, former Medicine Hat MP Monte Solberg, and Dan Williams, a former staffer to Calgary Midnapore MP Jason Kenney, all declined to run for the nomination despite speculation to the contrary.[3] Ric McIver, leader of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta and MLA for Calgary-Hays, stated that he would not run.[3]

Rumoured candidates for the Liberal nomination included physician Brendan Miles, the 2015 candidate in this riding, Chima Nkemdirim, the chief of staff to Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, and former Conservative MP Lee Richardson.[3] On February 8, 2017, the Liberal nomination was won by physician Scott Forsyth,[53] defeating Steven Turner and Kanwar Gill.[54][55]

Khalis Ahmed won the uncontested NDP nomination.[56]

Taryn Knorren defeated Brennan Wauters for the Green Party of Canada nomination.[57]

The Libertarian candidate was Darcy Gerow.[55]

Businesswoman and former Dragons' Den star Arlene Dickinson was considered a potential candidate until she declined interest on January 22. Dickinson stated she had supported parts of both Conservative and Liberal platforms in the past, but considers herself non-partisan.[58]

The by-election was announced on February 22, 2017. The Speaker's warrant regarding the vacancy was received on August 29, 2016. The last day a by-election could have been announced was February 25, 2017, with an election held at least 36 days after being announced.[59]

Markham—Thornhill

The riding of Markham—Thornhill was vacated on February 1, 2017,[9][8] following the appointment of Liberal MP and Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship John McCallum as Ambassador to China.[7] The electoral district was created for the 2015 federal election and has had McCallum as its only MP, however McCallum had represented predecessor ridings from which Markham—Thornhill was created since the 2000 federal election.

Justin Trudeau's director of appointments and former senior Queen's Park staffer Mary Ng,[67] defeated small business owner Nadeem Quereshi[62] and technology entrepreneur Afraj Gill[62] for the Liberal nomination on March 4, 2017.[68] Ontario cabinet minister and Markham—Unionville MPP Michael Chan, 2015 Markham—Unionville Liberal candidate Bang-Gu Jiang,[69] businesswoman Sofia Sun,[69] and former city councillor Khalid Usman were rumoured to be possible candidates but all of them ultimately endorsed Ng.[67][69] Other speculated candidates for the Liberal nomination who did not run included Markham Regional councillor Jack Heath and Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti.[70]

Liberal nomination contestant and school trustee Juanita Nathan initially ran for her party's nomination but withdrew in protest of the Liberal Party's handling of the nomination process.[71][72]

Radio host and newspaper columnist Gavan Paranchothy defeated CIBC economist Theodore Antony,[62] former senior Queen's Park staffer Lara Coombs,[62] former Don Valley East MP Joe Daniel,[62] and parental rights advocate John Himanen[62] for the Conservative Party nomination on March 8.[73] Paranchothy previously ran for the party in 2011 in Scarborough Southwest.

Small business owner Gregory Hines defeated insurance broker Marco Coletta for the NDP nomination.[62] Hines previously ran for the party in Markham—Stouffville in 2015.

Independent candidate Above Znoneofthe is a resident of Oshawa, formerly named Sheldon Bergson, who legally changed his name in 2015 so that he could register as a "none of the above" protest candidate in the 2015 federal election;[74] although he did not complete the process in time to register for that election, he first ran in the provincial Whitby—Oshawa by-election of 2016. He has since registered as a candidate in several other provincial and federal by-elections.[75]

The by-election, held on April 3, 2017, was announced on February 22, 2017. The Speaker's warrant regarding the vacancy was received on February 6, 2017; under the Parliament of Canada Act the writ for the by-election had to be issued no earlier than February 17, 2017, and no later than August 5, 2017.

Saint-Laurent Borough Mayor and Montreal City Councillor Alan DeSousa intended to run for the nomination but was rejected by the party's nomination committee.[77][78] In what was seen as a surprising result, both James and Rizqy were defeated for the Liberal nomination by local educator Emmanuella Lambropoulos.

October 23, 2017 by-elections

Sturgeon River—Parkland

The riding of Sturgeon River—Parkland was vacated on July 4, 2017, due to the resignation of Rona Ambrose whose term as interim Conservative Party of Canada leader ended with the election of her successor on May 27, 2017.[83] Ambrose announced her decision to resign to the Conservative Party caucus on May 12, 2017, and her decision was made public on May 15.[83] The suburban Edmonton riding was created for the 2015 federal election and has had Ambrose as its sole MP. It was created predominantly out of the former electoral district of Edmonton—Spruce Grove – for which Ambrose was the MP since its inception at the 2004 federal election – as well as Westlock—St. Paul which was held only by Conservatives from its creation in 2004 until it was abolished in 2015, as well as a small portion from the Yellowhead constituency which has been Conservative since 2003, and was previously held successively by the Progressive Conservatives, Reform Party and Canadian Alliance.

Former parliamentary staffer Dane Lloyd[84][85] defeated businessman and former 2017 Conservative leadership contestant Rick Peterson,[86] Ambrose constituency staffer Luke Inberg[87] and former Prime Minister's Office staffer Jamie Mozeson[88] for the Conservative nomination. A rumoured candidate for the Conservative nomination was Garry Keller, who served as Ambrose's chief of staff.[89] On August 25, Keller declared he would not run for the nomination.[90] The nomination to choose a Conservative candidate was held over two days, September 23 and 24.[91]

University of Alberta professor Brian Gold was acclaimed the Liberal Party candidate.[92] Gold previously ran for the party in 2015 in Edmonton Griesbach.

Medical laboratory technologist Shawna Gawreluck was selected as the NDP candidate.[92]

Educator Ernest Chauvet defeated businessman Kevin Schulthies for the Christian Heritage Party nomination on September 14.[93]

The Speaker's warrant regarding the vacancy was received on July 4, 2017; under the Parliament of Canada Act the writ for a by-election had to be dropped no sooner than August 21, 2017, and no later than December 31, 2017, 11 and 180 days, respectively, after the Chief Electoral Officer was officially notified of the vacancy via a warrant issued by the Speaker.[59] On September 17, 2017, the writ was dropped for a by-election held on October 23, 2017.[13]

Lac-Saint-Jean

The riding of Lac-Saint-Jean was vacated on August 9, 2017, due to the resignation of former Conservative cabinet minister and deputy leader of the Conservative Party, Denis Lebel.[12] Lebel announced his decision to resign on June 19, 2017, saying that his resignation would take effect prior to the beginning of the fall session of parliament. He had been an MP for 10 years, representing Lac-Saint-Jean since its creation in 2015 and the former riding of Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean from 2007 until 2015.[12] What is now Lac-Saint-Jean was previously represented by the Bloc Québécois from 1993 to 2007 and, provincially, three of the area's five seats are held by the Parti Québécois, while the New Democratic Party was the runner-up in the riding in the past two elections.[12]

Former Roberval city councillor Rémy Leclerc was acclaimed as the Conservative candidate on September 5.[94] Saguenay Mayor Jean Tremblay was speculated to be a candidate for the Conservative nomination, but did not run as the nomination took place before his term as mayor was completed in November 2017.[95]

Psychologist Gisèle Dallaire, the NDP's candidate in this riding in the 2015 election, was acclaimed as her party's candidate on September 25.[96][97]

Dolbeau-Mistassini Mayor Richard Hébert defeated former Mashteuiatsh vice-chief Marjolaine Étienne for the Liberal nomination on September 7.[98][99] Desbiens Mayor Nicolas Martel toyed with seeking the Liberal nomination, but ended up declining.[100]

Union official Marc Maltais was named the Bloc Québécois candidate on September 26.[101] Bloc leader Martine Ouellet, who does not have a seat in the House of Commons, ruled out standing as a candidate in the by-election as she is not from the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region.[102]

Pianist Yves Laporte was named the Green Party candidate on September 28.[103]

The Speaker's warrant regarding the vacancy was received on August 9, 2017; under the Parliament of Canada Act the writ for a by-election had to be dropped no sooner than August 20, 2017, and no later than February 5, 2018, 11 and 180 days, respectively, after the Chief Electoral Officer was officially notified of the vacancy via a warrant issued by the Speaker.[104] On September 17, 2017, the writ was dropped for a by-election held on October 23, 2017.[13]
