Durham byelection set for Nov 26
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced that three
federal byelections will be held on Nov. 26.
The votes will be held in the ridings of Victoria, Calgary-Centre
and the Ontario riding of Durham.
The ridings became vacant when members resigned.
Former cabinet minister Bev Oda quit following controversy over
her expenses, including an infamous $16 glass of orange juice,
leaving the Durham riding vacant.
New Democrat Denise Savoie resigned her Victoria seat for health
reasons.
Conservative Lee Richardson left in Calgary-Centre to work for
Alberta Premier Alison Redford.
