Prime Minister announces byelection in Mississauga-Lakeshore riding on Dec. 12
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has set the date for a federal byelection in the Greater Toronto Area.
Voters in Mississauga-Lakeshore will head to the polls to pick their new member of Parliament on Dec. 12.
The seat became empty earlier this year when former Liberal MP Sven Spengemann announced he was resigning to take a job at the United Nations.
The governing Liberals hope he’s replaced by former Ontario Liberal finance minister Charles Sousa, who had represented a provincial riding in Mississauga for more than a decade.
