Carney calls six federal byelections for Dec 7

Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan

Voters in six federal ridings in Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan will choose new MPs on Dec 7. The seats were left vacant by departures of MPs from several parties.

Laurier–Sainte-Marie candidates

• Liberal: Guy Cormier
• Bloc Québécois: Zumretay Arkin
• NDP: Nimâ Machouf

In Laurier–Sainte-Marie in Montreal, vacated by Liberal Steven Guilbeault, the Liberals run former Desjardins CEO Guy Cormier. The Bloc Québécois names Zumretay Arkin and the NDP Nimâ Machouf.

Two other Quebec seats are open: Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, held by NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice, and Saint-Hyacinthe–Bagot–Acton, held by Bloc MP Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay. Both men moved to provincial politics and won seats.

In Ontario, Scarborough North, held by Liberal Shaun Chen, and Brantford–Brant South, held by Conservative Larry Brock, are up for grabs. So is Yorkton–Melville in Saskatchewan, held by Conservative Cathay Wagantall since 2015.
